Few adults face such diverse expectations. Yet this is precisely the point. Through challenge and exploration, adolescents discover their talents, interests and potential. To undertake risk and challenge is the only way to ascertain what you are capable of accomplishing. You will fail from time to time, you will come up short in some areas, and you will make mistakes.
Perfection is impossible, and the human condition is to err.
A great school like Nobles supports students as they encounter risk and challenge, counsels them to discover meaning and the means to move forward, and nurtures them as they discover the joy of learning and unexpected interests. Most importantly, Nobles provides students with, in the faculty, outstanding models of adults who approach life with confidence and joy in the embrace of new experiences. They cannot be granted or taught. There is no class or course. Rather, they come through stretching oneself and surmounting challenges, through achievement.
