is a liberal arts school for
students in middle and high school (grades 6-12). Our mission
is to create and sustain a
community of lifelong learners who are working together
for the individual and the common
good. We assume that most learning in
a lifetime takes place outside of school and that one of the purposes of school is
to prepare an individual to learn on his or
her own. We do not, consequently, think of school as an end
in itself but as part of the continuum
of a life-long process perpetually at work
in each learner.
