Everything High School Should Be

Arts & Music

At Mid-Pen, the arts are immersive, interdisciplinary, and driven by student voice. Whether sketching in the studio, building theater sets, or picking up an instrument for the first time, you will use design thinking and the creative process to explore ideas and express who you are. With expert guidance and room to take risks, you can create work that’s thoughtful, inventive, and often deeply personal. Here, creativity connects—across subjects, mediums, and minds.

Athletics

Athletics are so much more than wins and losses—they're about inclusion, effort, and pride. With a no-cut policy and a focus on sportsmanship, our program gives you a chance to compete, grow, and be part of a team. Whether it's basketball in the gym or soccer on the field, you will gain confidence, resilience, and connection. Athletics here don’t just build skills—they build community.

Academics & Advising

Our academics are designed to build skills, spark curiosity, and nurture confidence, inside and outside the classroom. Every day at Mid-Pen includes Core—a small group led by a teacher who helps you tackle challenges, celebrate wins, and connect with opportunities you might not have seen on your own.

And with the support of our College Advising team and Learning Support program, students leave Mid-Pen not just prepared for college, but prepared for life.

Student Life

Student-led clubs and affinity groups are where friendships form, ideas spark, and leadership skills grow. Whether you’re into fashion, filmmaking, math puzzles, or making the world a better place, there’s a place for you here.

Our student calendar is packed with moments, big and small, that bring us together as a community.

DISCOVER MID-PEN

Here, you’ll find a college-prep program without the stress, a community where you belong. Our Dragons take the stage in concerts and plays, compete on no-cut athletic teams, design art projects, lead clubs, and celebrate together at school dances. We’re proud to be both small and complete, giving you all the opportunities without the overwhelm.

Mid-Pen is intentionally small, so every student is known by name, by strength, and by story. Here, diversity isn’t just a value, it’s part of daily life. You’ll find classmates who accept you for who you are, and teachers who help you see what’s possible.
