Opening in 2007, with its initial class consisting of only 150 freshmen, the school has since expanded, with more than five hundred and fifty students attending.

Schools articulate common expectations for learning that value 21st century skills, the integration of hands and minds, and the merging of academic disciplines.

The internship consists of an orientation followed by a five-week, full-time immersion at the work site, concluding with the intern's presentation of learning.

Intersession takes place once a year, with its purpose being to immerse students out in the community; whether locally, nationally, or internationally.

Intersession programs can range from community service, to homework study, to leisurely trips to exotic destinations such as Costa Rica, New Zealand, or Brazil.
