Philosophy and Approach
We are committed to the following goals:
- To provide an engaging and challenging academic curriculum
that prepares students for college while remaining responsive to the
strengths, special needs and diverse learning styles of our student
body.
- To provide a wide range of learning opportunities
that involves students in the operation and management of our working
farm, our maple sugaring business and our award-winning wildlife preserve.
- To provide innovative and exceptional instruction
by attracting knowledgeable and dynamic faculty who are committed to
our community as teachers and role models.
- To use an adventure-based approach to teaching by
engaging students in vigorous and rewarding learning experiences. Students
will meet academic objectives while enhancing physical wellness and
self-confidence, practicing leadership and building interpersonal relationships.
- To encourage a family commitment to the "life
of the school" through a program that is designed to establish
more meaningful and supportive connections for our students.
- To maintain a family-style living environment within
a 1,800 acre campus where students will live in faculty-run homes that
are grade and gender specific.
- To help students acknowledge and resolve difficulties
through an active and ongoing individual and group counseling program
under the supervision of licensed clinical faculty.
- To instruct students in a variety of competitive
intramural and noncompetitive individual athletic endeavors that promotes
a lifelong commitment to fitness and a responsible use of leisure time.
