M413 School of the Future

School of the Future is a small secondary school serving students from 6th to 12th grade. Our dynamic, diverse learning community and staff of educated, caring professionals provide a college and career preparatory experience of meaningful academic and nonacademic activities that broaden students’ emotional and social awareness.



Students need to grapple with ideas and skills that matter to their futures. This is why SOF emphasizes research, persuasive speaking and writing, collaboration, self-reflection, problem-solving, and innovative thinking. Our classrooms pulse with authentic learning and thinking about topics that are relevant to our students’ lives. In place of Regents Exams as a graduation requirement, high school students complete four independent research projects and papers that they present to a panel of teachers and peers. The SOF Exhibition Experience prepares students for what they will encounter at college, in terms of writing, presenting, and defending their ideas. Our middle schoolers, too, work toward a final research project that they will share with peers.
