During your visit, you will have the opportunity to engage with the team that built the Mastery School to learn more about our program. The Mastery School of Hawken is an ungraded, project and problem-based school designed to maximize the individual growth of every student. The Korda Institute methods for academic learning are the backbone of the school’s academic program. The Mastery School also reflects Hawken School's long-standing focus on the development of character and intellect and forward-focused preparation for the real world. Students at the school apply to college, not with grades, but with Mastery Transcripts through our membership in the Mastery Transcript Consortium, which was founded by Hawken.
