About

EPIC High School North provides a rigorous, culturally relevant, academic program that prepares students for the demands of college and career. EPIC's personalized approach to instruction challenges students to dream big and design their futures. It engages students in solving real-world problems and supports their individual progress and growth. EPIC students graduate confident in their ability to transform the world around them while having been exposed to an array of college-level material and life-ready skills. Capitalizing on what we do best, we leverage socio-emotional learning about each child to build the habits of mind necessary for every learner's academic success. Our version of advisory--CORE--is mandatory as is Summer Bridge.
