The White Mountain School is dedicated to offering a student-focused, college preparatory curriculum. Education designed with small, progressive classes allows students to be actively involved in their own learning.
Through a robust curriculum and small, interactive classes, the White Mountain experience allows students to own their education and become responsible and innovative young adults.
In addition to a 4.0 grading system, each student is evaluated on six LearningOutcomes — content knowledge, complex thinking, communications, information processing, collaborative worker, and self-directed learner. LearningOutcomes are designed to assess a variety of important skill areas and help students understand their own learning.
