Academics

From kindergarten through eighth grade, our core program balances rigorous academics with the arts, athletics, outdoor education, and community service.

We believe students need to master academic skills and subjects and develop the habits of heart and mind that are increasingly critical for success in our rapidly changing world. We teach our students the basics of literacy, mathematics, history, and literature. And we also emphasize the development of perseverance, discipline, creativity, self-direction, and collaboration.

We want our students think independently, to make connections among ideas, to take risks, to overcome adversity and to fall in love with learning.
