The school is committed to an education in the liberal arts tradition, and students are asked to acquaint themselves with the major intellectual, social, and political elements of the human experience. Small classes and concerned teachers enable students to learn as much and as fast as they can. The small classes encourage a Socratic approach to learning, with give and take between student and teacher. Most teachers live on campus, and all are readily available for students requiring individual attention. Each student's academic progress is supported by an advisor who monitors academic performance and serves as a contact with parents.
Students are well-prepared to enter selective colleges across the country.
The school is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the College Entrance Examination Board, the Colorado High School Activities Association, and the Secondary School Admission Testing Board, and is accredited by the Association of Colorado Independent Schools .
