| The ability to learn and the desire to question are critical to human growth and creative achievement. Our academic program stimulates intellectual curiosity and the skills necessary for thoughtful and thorough learning. Students are encouraged to question and to work independently. |

| We believe that music, the arts and crafts are basic expressions of the human spirit and the quest for beauty. |

To that end, each student participates in the arts and in music to develop skills that will bring lifelong enjoyment. |

We live close to the land and cultivate an appreciation of nature. By studying the environment of which we are a part, we gain understanding of our role as stewards of the land. |
