Drew students develop the skills and mindsets to apply what they learn in meaningful ways; thinking critically and creatively, expressing themselves with confidence, collaborating with care, and acting with purpose in their communities and beyond. 

 

 

A Relevant Academic Program

At Drew, classes challenge you to think hard, get curious, and find connections; between ideas, the world around you, and the kind of impact you want to have.

And, while the learning is deep and challenging, it isn’t about rote memorization or academic pressure. It’s about depth: challenging ideas, ambitious projects, and high expectations, paired with the support you need to rise to them and go further than you think possible. Being challenged is good. Being overwhelmed? Not so much.

A Supportive Environment

This is a place where you can stretch, stumble, and soar, surrounded by people who believe in you. We believe that challenge and support can and should co-exist.

Relationships are at the heart of learning at Drew. We build community in small advisory groups that feel like family, in classrooms where you’re appreciated for your quirks, and in everyday moments of sincere connection. Here, support isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s teenager-sized and rooted in deep care.

 

Art Is a Verb Here.

Making art isn’t a break from school. At Drew, it is school.
Drew students take arts courses for at least two years, and many choose to continue well beyond that. You’ll learn by making, doing, and performing. You’ll find your voice through visual art, theater, and music, while secretly building skills like collaboration, reflection, and creative risk-taking. Museum visits, artist talks, and public performances round out Drew’s awesome arts experience.
