ACADEMICS

ENGAGED
Our student body is engaged…with small classes, flexible learning options, and emphasis on linking academics to personal interests and real-world projects.  We help students see learning as a way to reach their life goals.

TECHNOLOGY SAVVY
Everyday use of the latest technology requires students to communicate, collaborate and creatively solve problems. These skills are needed to succeed in our modern world and for careers that do not yet exist.  All South Shore students receive a computer to use during school through the South Shore Foundation.
