Welcome from the Head of School

We believe every child has what it takes to excel. And we put that belief into practice moment by moment—in the classroom, on the playground, in the dorms, on the sports fields.

Every day, in every activity, our teachers, staff, and I uphold each student’s innate perfection and potential by following this Biblical imperative:

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
—Psalms 37:37

Imagine the possibilities this unleashes for your child—for every child—to be and do the very best!

Whether joining us in Preschool or Upper School, students thrive in a community that prizes scholarship as well as spiritual thinking and acting. In this uplifting environment, our students cultivate essential skills and confidence—and learn to conquer limitations, embrace challenge, and pursue excellence.

By learning purposefully, thinking fearlessly, and acting selflessly, they blossom into tomorrow’s leaders. And they graduate ready to rise to the demands of the future—in college, in professional and family life, and as global citizens.
