Our Philosophy: Our school has a responsibility to provide an atmosphere in which the student has freedom to learn in an environment stimulating and conducive to learning. Our efforts center on developing the ability to communicate - reading, writing, and speaking from knowledge - with clarity and self-confidence. We consider this ability an indispensable prerequisite for survival in today's world. Cognizant of the ever-expanding body of knowledge and the tendency toward specialization in the present age, we aim to create an environment and a curriculum that will aid the student in pursuing his/her personal goals in preparing himself/herself for the future. Finally, recognizing that there are more sublime qualities that must be fostered in a student, we strive to help him/her to become both a viable individual as well as a productive and useful member of society. To these ends we consider personal integrity, in its broadest sense, essential.
