    Developmental Priorities

    N/A

    Balanced
    Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
    Intellectual
    The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

    Traditional

    Curriculum pace

    N/A

    Standard-enriched
    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

    Academic culture

    N/A

    Supportive
    A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

To that end, we provide an educational experience second to none. We take students between grades 7 and 12 and form them into exemplary leaders in their professions, communities, and beyond.

Students are encouraged to achieve their highest potential by balancing academic, co-curricular and social pursuits within a structured, disciplined, nurturing environment. We offer complete programs in music, art, drama, technology, and other specialized areas where our students have shown a keen interest. We subscribe to the philosophy that well-rounded leaders have interests beyond their academics that are equally important and ignite the passion to succeed in all areas of their studies. Our students learn the hard work and discipline necessary for success and are well-equipped with the tools they need to achieve it."
