The Headwaters Difference

Curriculum
While providing an academically rigorous and project-based curriculum, we entrust students with the freedom to explore and share their thoughts in an environment based on mutual respect.
Our faculty comes from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, but there is a common interest that unites them: a passion for education and dedication to the cultivation of academic excellence in middle school students. Step into a classroom and you quickly see why we have the reputation of having the best educators in the Valley.
