A Personalized Academic Experience
MPH students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning through:
- Independent Studies: Pursue self-directed projects under the mentorship of dedicated faculty.
- Advanced Courses: Engage in in-depth exploration of subjects beyond the standard curriculum.
- Elective Options: Choose from a wide array of electives that cater to diverse interests and career aspirations.
This personalized approach ensures that students are not only academically challenged but also inspired to become thoughtful, responsible, and engaged members of the global community.
The Malone Schools Online Network (MSON)
The Malone Schools Online Network (MSON) is a consortium of independent schools across the United States that offers real-time (synchronous) online courses to students at other member schools. Utilizing a high-tech videoconferencing platform hosted by Stanford Online High School, students participate in interactive seminar-style classes in subjects that are advanced beyond MPH offerings (i.e. Chinese V, Multivariable Calculus) or in fields that we do not offer. Students benefit from exposure to a broad range of exciting course offerings and passionate instructors from top independent schools, while taking ownership of their education in this flexible and independent environment.
