Boticelli, Shakespeare, Galileo, DaVinci, ….  If you ask any artist they will most certainly identify each of these individuals as a remarkable artist.  Approach  scientists or scholars on the matter, and they will undoubtedly point out the many academic achievements of each.   The Renaissance School is devoted to providing an environment in which students can explore the interconnections between academics and performing arts.  In this fashion, students will discover the importance of developing knowledge in all disciplines in order to truly excel at that which they love most.

The Renaissance School is designed to invite the curiosity and creativity of staff and students to cultivate exploration of intellectual challenges.  The academic and artistic diversity of our staff allows Renaissance to offer college preparatory programs including but not limited to physics, calculus, AP classes, advanced literature, and honors designations.  In addition we offer College in High School classes through the university of Washington -English 131 and English 111 -  allowing students to earn both college and high school credits simultaneously. Courses will emphasize the interconnections of subjects, communication skills, rigorous analysis of texts and ideas, critical assessments of arguments and thoughtful reflection.  Involvement in performing arts classes such as culinary arts, marketing, theater, dance, vocal and instrumental groups provides the platform for students to pursue elevation of the human spirit.  The foundational nature of academic disciplines in the advancement of performing arts is a touchstone of our philosophy.
