Teachers Can Do More Of What They Do Best

They can teach creatively, innovatively, and individually. This School gives them the freedom to try new ideas and approaches. Together with their students, they seek new opportunities and challenges outside the textbook and beyond the basic courses. We want teachers to teach students to learn in whatever ways work for them.

Teachers here work with each student as an individual. Classes are small. Teachers not only have the time but the patience and genuine concern for close personal attention.


Our teachers value the resources and the reputation of this institution the caliber of their students and the satisfaction of helping individuals grow through individual effort.
