Our approach to learning is guided by our core values

Happy students are healthy and disciplined

Building and maintaining a healthy body is central for lifelong success. Students need daily opportunities to push themselves physically. The results of disciplined physical activity gives students a tangible example of how consistency creates mastery.

Being honest creates authenticity

Students need daily opportunities to practice honesty with themselves and others. Honesty gives students permission to change bad habits and validates their gifts and talents. Honest students become noble leaders.

Correct thinking requires correct communication

Communication is an art. Students need daily opportunities to reflect on, and refine, how they speak, write, think, and present themselves.

Learning to learn is more important than what you learn

Learning how to learn opens up the door to mastery in all areas. Students need daily opportunities to investigate their personal strengths and blind spots.

Courage leads to discovery

Courage gives students the power to explore the unknown. Students need daily opportunities to take intellectual risks and experiment with discovering who they genuinely are.

Nature breeds curiosity

Nature soothes anxiety and is an endless source of inspiration. Technology addiction is a real problem for children. Students need daily time in nature, where learning is organic and spontaneous.
