This allows students and teachers to better understand and work with one another, and to contribute to the family-like atmosphere we foster. Small groups of students working with a relatively large staff benefit from the care and attention it takes to do outstanding work. Our outdoor learning program on the school's 400 acres of beautiful wilderness and farmland includes skiing, science, farming, gardening, art, and hiking. In addition to regular studies in math and language, students are offered elective classes in farming, community service, leadership, theatrical productions, art, music, and life and physical sciences. In this program, students expand their independence and decision-making skills under the watchful eye of caring staff.
Students have daily studies in math and language as well as elective opportunities.
