A Note from the Director

For many families, when choosing the right school for their student, a rigorous academic program is the expectation—and for good reason. Rigor builds essential problem-solving skills, develops a student’s ability to transition into higher-level learning, and prepares them for future opportunities and success.

At Maybeck, we know rigor does not have to be rigid.  We achieve even bolder outcomes and greater success through a more collaborative, integrated, student-centered approach. When a rigorous experience is tempered with flexibility and supported by a foundation of truly meaningful relationships, students thrive. 

The combination of strong intellectual growth and authentic personal expression that happens when students learn to think both critically and creatively not only exceeds expectations but can even amaze the students themselves.

The dynamic collaborations that happen through genuine connections, valuable shared experiences, and exciting real-world engagement shape both intelligent, thoughtful worldviews and strong characters—adding more dimension, personal conviction, and intention to the successful outcomes associated with traditional rigor.

The results are vital, dynamic individuals, who share a deep sense of solidarity; responsible scholars equipped with powerful intellectual skills and equally strong personal integrity—ready to go into the world with enthusiasm and purpose.

You should expect the best experience for your child. At Maybeck, we’re proud to say we’re ready to exceed your expectations and help your student exceed their own.

We sincerely look forward to meeting you!
