Adopted by the Board of Directors, September 2004

Our mission is to engage students of diverse talents in an intellectually challenging and supportive school culture. We endeavor to foster in our students self-confidence, integrity, responsibility to their community and environment, and a life-long passion for learning.

We are a school characterized by:

• A strong academic college-preparatory program and a developmentally appropriate curriculum from preschool through twelfth grade.
• The expectation that all students will take advantage of opportunities to contribute to, and benefit from, an integrated program that includes Outdoor Education, Community Service, Fine and Performing Arts, and Athletics.
• A committed faculty and staff that develop close, caring relationships with students.
• An educational environment that embraces a variety of learning and teaching styles and respects individual differences.
• A school culture in which it is safe to take intellectual risks and which encourages independent thinking, creativity, ethical decision-making, and respect for others.
• An active school community comprised of students, their parents, faculty, staff, alumni and directors, all of whom are valued contributors to enriching and enhancing the life of the school.
