Vision and Mission
Our Vision
- Fiat Lux (the Advanced Academic Program) advocates for advanced students; it is passionate
about providing the best for these students and asking for the best from these students.
Building on the traditionally strong bond between Overfelt's staff and students, the Fiat
Lux counselor and teachers will know the students individually over their four years here.
- Fiat Lux is serious about both the breadth and depth of the opportunities in and out of
the classroom. Beyond providing the highest levels of curriculum, the staff
encourages exploration, accompanying students on college field trips and even leading
frequent day trips around the Bay Area to try new things and experience a larger world.
Our Mission
- to provide academic preparation beyond basic UC and CSU a-g requirements, commensurate
with those of selective colleges and universities, and
- to provide opportunities to develop skills beyond the classroom that will prepare students
for success at selective colleges and universities.
