Mission

Our mission is to develop young citizens with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs. Within a caring, respectful environment, the school is committed to instill in each student a desire to learn, to take appropriate risks, and to accept challenges. Creative and research-based instructional techniques are used to enhance life-long learning. All aspects of the school’s organization, curricular, and co-curricular activities are student centered and designed to accommodate individual learning styles.

The school offers broad and challenging educational programs to students to assist them in contributing their wisdom, compassion and leadership in a global society. Our school conditions students to become cultural relativists who accept other cultures and are open-minded to interact with them. The school community is committed to develop resilient and adaptable students who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and ethics to become socially responsible adults.
