Operational technology includes the RenWeb platform for online applications and parent portal tuition management, FACTS for grant and aid assessment, i-Ready for tri-annual diagnostic benchmarking in ELA and math, and IXL for subject-area practice. The institution is led by Principal Wendy Wood and employs approximately 77 staff across academic, student services, administrative, and facilities functions.
