Our goals are for our students to be open-minded and compassionate, to gain a sense of themselves and others, and to understand and appreciate the diversity of the human spirit. Our students are well trained in the basic academic disciplines, while fulfilling their creative, physical, emotional, social, and cognitive potential. Our students love learning and to value knowledge, creativity, and humor. They are responsible, critical, and caring members of our society. They recognize that they have the power and resources to effect change and the self-esteem and confidence to pursue their goals.

We believe that children learn best through intrinsic motivation. That they succeed when they have control over their learning. We are fiercely protective of concentration. We teach peace and do not dwell on competition. Students gain life-long benefits from the practice of self-discipline and independence. Our students will have a positive impact on the world in which they live.
