About Us

Renaissance School excels at serving the unique needs of high ability students.

With small class sizes and inspiring faculty, we are able to tailor the academic experience to the individual student. This student-centered approach encourages independence, a growth mindset, self-advocacy, and a student’s ownership of their education. Students who experience this kind of agency enjoy being at school, take pride in their achievements, and meet challenges with grit and resilience. Respect for their own strengths and progress facilitates the empathy to respect their peers, and be good citizens.
