ATLAS is a school designed expressly around the unique needs of 7th and 8th graders.

IDENTITY

Middle school students are at a crucial time of social and emotional growth, questioning the world and their place in it. We believe that theatre is the ideal medium for navigating the complexities of transitioning into independent thinkers and learners.

MOTIVATION

At ATLAS, students direct their own learning by running all aspects of a theatre company. We use the theatrical process to explore essential questions in literature, science, history, math, and beyond.

COMMUNITY

Our small, blended cohorts of students in each grade ensure a safe, supportive learning environment with room to question, experiment, change, and grow.
