"To develop thoughtful, ambitious, and deep learners. We honor our students' individuality while cultivating their sense of integrity, their respect for others, and their commitment to service in a global society."

‘First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable.’
—Octavia E. Butler, ‘Furor Scribendi’

We are an academic school, and we are proud of it. Every member of this community, whether student, teacher, staff member or parent, comes here to explore, to make, and to investigate, to take intellectual risks and to trust that they will be supported in taking them. Our 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio, the expertise of our teachers, and our high expectations serve one end: that each child learns deeply, and comes to love the work of learning. Rigor and joy are companions in our classrooms. The meeting of difficulty and delight is an ordinary, daily event here.
