We teach and use Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits for Happy Kids to help our students in becoming future leaders: Be Proactive, Begin With the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand Then to Be Understood, Synergize, Sharpen the Saw

HIGH SCHOOL curriculum includes a Community Outreach program where students will engage with the world outside of the classroom. This is also known as seeing Real Life and being part of making the world a better place. High school students are expected to be a self-directed learner and being part of planning his/her curriculum needs for graduation. 

WALDORF Inspired Curriculum: Our curricular and educational practices include methods commonly found in WALDORF schools, focusing on the whole child: head, heart, and hands.

Waldorf is considered "the fastest-growing independent school movement in the world." The Waldorf Values are as follows:
  • Family and community life
  • The healthy unfolding of childhood
  • Joy in the learning process
  • An education focused on wholeness in body, soul, and spirit
  • Intellectual excellence, imagination, strong memory and problem-solving skills
  • A viable alternative to high-stakes testing
  • Age-appropriate use of media
  • The training of ethical and moral judgment
