The academic program is supplemented with daily physical education classes, a full performing and fine arts curriculum, trips of many kinds and explorations into co-curricular activities. We emphasize effective and compassionate communication, consideration and tolerance of others, the development of teamwork and the strengthening of one's value system.

The school program is a full and busy one. All students take classes in the fundamental academic disciplines, as well as art, music, computer, physical education, character development, keyboarding skills and a wide range of short-term elective courses. The program is supplemented by a diversified assembly program; interesting day and overnight trips; major dramatic productions; special math, social studies and science competitions; internal and external community service projects; and an energetic student council program. The After School Program is available at the end of the day.

Classes are small, each student has an advisor, and the reporting system allows for specialized narratives at narrowly spaced intervals—all of which help assure parents that the progress of their child is being closely followed. A strong counseling program reinforces the work of the advisor and Class Dean and provides parents with additional resources within the school.

We believe passionately in the right of each student to take advantage of every aspect of the school program. We therefore hope to create an educational environment in which each person is genuinely valued, respected, included and feels a sense of belonging.
