Engaged Experience
One of our students started a collection of historical artifacts when he was eight and became curator of the Indian Ridge Museum. He also loves ecology, does research for the EPA, and stopped construction in our community that would negatively affect wetlands and creeks.
It’s a prime example how our risk-free environment fosters divergent thinking, challenges students to think independently and form personal opinions that can be advanced, challenged, and embraced.
We also foster collaboration in grades K-12. From Lower School on, our students work in tandem with faculty and other students to achieve common goals in academics, athletics, and the arts.
