The Beaver Student Experience

Meet Rishaan Chowdhury '29

My favorite teacher was Mr. Greenberg because he made his class really fun. He knew how to balance the rich curriculum with fun and enjoyment and created one of the best classes I have ever taken!

Meet Allie Chisholm ’27

I was new to Beaver in 9th grade so the first day was a little scary. But the community at Beaver was truly so welcoming, and in each place I went, a person was willing and ready to help me.

Meet Emma Shub ’24

Being a Beaver student means that you are learning in an intimate environment; it means that you are learning in an engaged and driven community. Beaver is a launchpad for phenomenal work, and Beaver students are interesting.

 

Learning happens everywhere on our 300,000 square foot campus

Beaver taught me how to think differently and engage with all kinds of people. Students are seen as so much more than just numbers. It is evident that teachers genuinely care about students and are incredibly well-versed in their subject. Beaver offers incredible amounts of opportunities, and each and every student takes a unique path, with tons of support along the way.
