Values
- PRACTICE AND EMULATE VIRTUE
- We act honorably and with integrity in all situations. When we say all situations, we mean all - even when it’s hard, and even when no one is looking.
We realize that actions speak louder than words. We push students to pursue both academic and moral excellence; as we teach our students what it is to be a moral, thoughtful force in the world, we must exemplify precisely what we teach them.
We seek to understand and practice virtue. By setting lofty expectations for ourselves, we create a community of individuals centered around truth and goodness.
