We are committed to being an inclusive and equitable community enriched by the diversity of all constituencies. We respect and honor the customs, traditions, values, and perspectives of individuals of different gender, race, religion, socioeconomic status, family configuration, sexual orientation, ethnicity, ability, and age, and expect members of our community to be guided by moral courage, empathy, and compassion. Our challenging program, serving a range of learning styles, is marked by a nurturing environment with small classes and individual attention. Collegiality and collaboration among faculty, and strong, mutually respectful, supportive relationships with the Head of School and the two Division Heads are hallmarks of our teaching environment. The School encourages and provides opportunities for professional growth and development and a strong compensation and benefit package.
