About the Upper School
The faculty of the Upper
School is committed to
creating challenging
learning environments
and to supporting our
students in ways
commensurate with those
challenges. We intend
that the school be a
place of mutual faith
and trust. Our students
come to us prepared to
accept this commission
and to assume their
roles in completing the
trust and consideration
that we extend to them.
In doing so, students
begin to recognize and
apply their potential as
thinkers, leaders, and
citizens.

Community is a community

Additionally, the Upper
School offers a college
preparatory academic
program which is
appropriately rigorous
and encourages students
to become confident in
their approaches to
learning and to life;
provides extensive
extracurricular
opportunities in
community service, the
arts, athletics, and
leadership development;
believes that spiritual
insight and personal
devotion are essential
to healthy and
meaningful lives and
good citizenship;
promotes the pursuit and
practice of honor in our
conduct, diligence in
our work, and decency in
our relationships.
The strength of our
school lies within the
foundation of its shared
heritage, the quality of
its commitments, and the

of the the community to
its common goals and
core values. This
foundation sets the
