Mission and Philosophy

Our commitment to providing the highest quality college preparatory education in a Christian environment is based on the belief that it is important to:

• Educate the whole student spiritually, academically, civically, socially, physically, and emotionally;
• Provide an education rooted in Christian principles as understood and interpreted by the Episcopal Church;
• Maintain an atmosphere in which each student can develop a sense of individual worth and formulate a code of moral values based on Christian ethics;
• Promote an environment that embraces, respects, and teaches tolerance and appreciation for cultural, ethnic, religious, and racial differences within our community;
• Implement a carefully formulated curriculum and research based methodologies which recognize and address individual differences and needs;
• Encourage a respect for and appreciation of learning and knowledge;
• Offer a variety of educational and extracurricular programs and encourage participation in school, social, and community endeavors;
• Evaluate and strengthen our educational standards on a continuing basis to provide students with challenges that will allow them to develop into informed, self-assured, and responsible citizens.
