At The Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Upper School, our approach to education allows students to see the relationship of all knowledge to life, to moral vision, and to the creation of culture, while teaching invaluable lessons in critical thinking. The Adelson Upper School emphasizes a strong core curriculum that will prepare students for college and a life of learning. Small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, many holding advanced degrees in their subject, ensure that all of our students will be challenged, inspired, encouraged, and supported as they grow into young adults. A strong athletics program, a dedication to service, and a well-developed Judaics component further enrich our students lives. Our commitment to a drug-free environment helps teens resist peer pressure and make good, healthy decisions. Our outstanding teachers and staff represent diverse backgrounds but share a common goal - to educate our upper school students to become critical thinkers, caring individuals, and contributing citizens to the world.
