Beginning in Kindergarten, our students develop the intellectual mastery and empowering habits that will prepare them to succeed at the highest levels in all they pursue. We benchmark ourselves against indicators proven to predict success in college and beyond, and set rigorous standards for academic and personal development to ensure our graduates are prepared to compete and succeed alongside students from the top schools across the U.S. We set ambitious goals—more ambitious than most think possible—and as a team won’t settle until we achieve them. We align on priorities, measure progress, and evaluate our results openly to improve quickly. We own our impact, live our values, and focus intentionally on creating a culture that supports every student, family, and team member to achieve excellence.
