Our Quaker Values
When a child’s educational experience is based on a foundation of essential human values, they develop into caring, confident, and independent adults who can challenge themselves and connect with others as a way to better our world.
Combining academic rigor with Quaker values, our extraordinary educational program enables students to understand the importance of integrity, reflection, and community in achieving academic success.
