Our Mission
"We wish our students to become strong in body, broad of mind, tender of heart, responsive in soul." – Mary Hyde DuVal, Founding Headmistress
Pre-School
Serving as the first step on the educational journey through the School, our Pre-School is interdisciplinary and inquiry-based, designed to emphasize emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development and discovery.
Lower School
The Grades K - 4 program creates an intimate educational environment encouraging students to explore and question their world.
Middle School
In Grades 5 - 8, the curriculum is a bold blend of collaboration, student-led learning, real-life problem solving, and creativity.
Upper School
The Upper School experience is designed to give students the freedom of choice to cultivate curiosity, passion, and excitement while feeling safe, challenged, and known.
