We are committed to excellence in everything we do, both individually and as a community. Question, Doubt, Challenge Question Intellectual curiosity is the defining characteristic of the scholar. A thirst for knowledge, the search for truth, exploration of the unknown. These are the things that ignite the passions of the scholar. We encourage all members of the community to think for themselves.
Skepticism is healthy.
We do not blindly accept the answers we receive to the questions we ask. We evaluate these answers critically, always remaining open to alternative points of view. At the same time, we examine and clarify our own values, and engage in frequent moral reflection. We have the courage to act in accordance with our beliefs and the willingness to stand in opposition, sometimes against overwhelming odds, against that which we think is wrong. We value creativity as the fulfillment of each person's human potential.
