Rigor
We believe that academic excellence comes from world-class teaching, a future-focused curriculum, and plain old hard work. Our students develop the resilience, creativity, focus and excitement about learning that not only sets the foundation for their future academic success, but for a lifetime of joyful discovery. -
Nurture
We believe in what is often called the “whole child” approach; the recognition that children are more than just test scores and grades, and that the best education also focuses on artistic development, physical education and character – as well as service, community and kindness. -
Expansiveness
Our focus, and our community, is global. We know our children’s world will be broader, more connected, and different in ways that we cannot yet imagine. We believe the best preparation for this world of tomorrow is to embrace the whole world today.
