Boarding / Upper School Programs (Grades 9-12)
At OES, learning from day one is active, not passive. Students don’t just study science – they do it. They don’t just read great writers, they write – and write, and write. They don’t just listen to teachers, they ask questions.
Each experience leads to the next one, always driven primarily by the passion and persistence of the student who serves, in effect, as the architect of his or her education.
