  • Being a caring, positive and ethical person

  • Leading through moral example

  • Exemplifying enthusiasm about learning

  • Achieving academic distinction

  • Working independently on individual areas of interest

  • Going "above and beyond" what is required in and outside of academic classes
  • Maintain a quarterly GPA of 3.75 minimum

  • Receive recommendations from three current teachers.
  • Schedule an interview with the Program Directors.
