We teach and use Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits for Happy Kids to help our students in becoming future leaders. 

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