We are a reflective community helping students understand themselves as whole systems living in the context of larger systems and capable of understanding and influencing those systems. Students and staff alike come to us knowing that the people here teach and learn with artistic and academic integrity. It is a learning community preparing students to enjoy competing in the emerging global market place with creativity, character, courage, and compassion. We learn the value of individual commitment and respect for uniqueness because we learn everyday with people who are inventive, responsible, receptive to new ideas, and who seek academic and artistic excellence. Our philosophy of learning grows out of a commitment to specific principles that guide us in how we learn.
All individuals have creative ability.
All individuals learn best through their unique gifts. All individuals need an advocate to facilitate learning. We perceive the physical world through our senses, movement and intuition. We evaluate our perceptions through facts and comparative thinking. All individuals can learn at higher levels when experience is linked to the processes of evaluation.
