Our Mission and Vision

Our schools prepare young scholars to compete for admission to and succeed in top public, private, and parochial high schools by cultivating their intellectual, artistic, social, emotional, and ethical development.

To achieve this, our schools create a supportive and caring environment that at all times has high expectations of all students.

Our engaging and rigorous approach to educating our scholars is implemented by a collaborative team of teachers.
