Learning through Community Engagement

Our aim is to develop students into compassionate, capable, and confident adults. Community involvement is emphasized at our school because we believe what is learned on and off our campus should positively impact our community.

Our students go on field trips, travel to new places, and perform community service as part of their learning. Through these experiences, students learn self-reliance, concern for others, a lifelong attitude of service, and a desire to become confident and caring global citizens. Our motto is “Think globally, act locally.” As our school grows, we will add an internship program to our offerings.
