We have an excellent tutoring program run by students who make A's in the classes they tutor in. We have many academic scholarships, and about 65 percent of the students receive financial aid. We are in the developmental stages of a track and all weather field on campus. We are a fast growing program that fits the highly competitive athlete and those that enjoy just being a part of a team
