"We don't even know what skills may be needed in the years ahead... We must train our young people in the fundamental fields of knowledge, and equip them to undersand and cope with change. ...We must give them the critical qualities of mind and durable qualities of character that will serve them in circumstances we cannot now even predict."

 John Gardner

Excellence:  Take each student to their highest potential

Western:  Recognize the great contribution of Western culture to America and the world, including its triumphs and failures while also recognizing the beauty in other cultures.

Universal:  Emphasize the humanities, arts and sciences to bring a full perspective.

Integrated:  Education is necessarily tied to philosophy and religion in order to train thoughtful students.

Idealism:  Standards of right and wrong exist in all subject areas.  Students are taught to make judgements accordingly.

Integrated subjects:  Subjects should be taught in an integrated way so that students understand the whole as well as the parts.

Teaches critical thinking:  Students learn to think beyond subject-matter.  Content is not the goal-wisdom is.

Traditional:  Hold to educational standards that have a clear record of success.

Engage and Challenge:  Students will meet a high standard and enjoy the sense of achievement.
