As a school in the progressive tradition:
- We believe that children are natural learners who thrive best in an atmosphere attuned to their individual interests, strengths, and needs.
- We believe that diversity of all kinds and a culture of inclusivity strengthen the individual and the community.
- We prepare children to live and lead with a global perspective.
- We believe that personal qualities such as honesty, curiosity, independent thinking, and respect are as important as academic achievement.
- We celebrate nature and promote environmental responsibility.
- We believe that healthy physical activity and a meaningful experience of the arts are essential to personal growth.
