Watershed is an uncommon school that fosters academic excellence and upstanding character through an innovative, rigorous, and effective experiential college prep curriculum. Our students experience adventure and wonder as they learn by doing and engage in complex, in-depth and abstract thougths in written, oral and artistic forms.

Our vision is to develop active citizens and bold thinkers by providing a unique, meaningful and rigorous education in a nurturing setting that challenges students to know and care for themselves, their community, and their world.
Our Values
- Excellence in crafsmanship
- Expeditionary behavior
- Personal integrity and collective accountability
- A strong community that embraces differences in people, ideas and cultures
