In addition to giving our students a solid academic preparation, we strive to help our students grow into open-minded, aware, and fulfilled human beings, people who are aware of their own and other's positive potentials. We want our students to develop moral qualities that acknowledge the dignity and respect that others deserve, and that includes empathy toward the feelings and experiences of other people. Spiritually, we want our students to be and become people who seek balance and self-awareness in their own lives, and who pursue truth, harmony, and right-living in their daily lives in the broader world.
Our curriculum is firmly internationalist in its orientation, committed to studying and understanding the world from many different perspectives and through the many voices of people from all over the globe. Through their study of science, history, current events, literature, and the arts, we want our students to explore the unity of our human condition through the diversity of its manifestations - to recognize and respect the multiplicity and variety of cultures, religions, and arts that are all expressions of our common humanity. Finally, our curriculum is also strongly ecological in orientation, committed to helping our students recognize the interconnectedness and fragility of our biosphere, and their role in helping preserve it.
