Student Centered: The student is at the center of everything we do; the growth of the student is our foremost consideration.
Teaching Excellence: The success of each student's quest to discover, cultivate, and apply his/her unique gifts and talents depends upon highly qualified faculty who take a personal interest in each student under their care.
Leading and Diverse Curriculum: Inspiring our students to achieve academic excellence, critical thinking, creative application, physical development, and personal integrity requires school programs that are dynamic and that expand the student's competence beyond a firm grounding in the basic educational curriculum.
Safe and Nurturing Community: Compelling each student to develop the healthy habits necessary to excel in school and life requires a partnership between students, parents, and faculty that compassionately and consistently applies our community virtues.
