Our curriculum is traditional and rigorous, but not stodgy. Organized around a core of disciplines (Humanities (English & History), Mathematics, Foreign Language, Science, and Fine Arts), the academic program prepares students for college (and life) in at least three ways: establishing a foundation of understanding in the key areas which underpin modern scholarship; providing essential intellectual and communication skills like critical reading, persuasive writing and speaking, imaginative problem-solving, and deductive reasoning; and imparting work and study habits like organization, planning, and time management.

Our integrated Humanities curriculum strives to incorporate history with literature of the period. Students are exposed to music and art from that period to ensure immersion in the time they are studying. The humanities curriculum begins in Third Form (freshman) year with the study of ancient civilization. Each year, the curriculum continues through the development of civilization.

Students receive a no-nonsense, liberal arts education. Still, we are not afraid to try new things - aggressively introducing technology to the classroom, conducting some science experiments outside in the working lab of our 300-acre campus, or creating an integrated curriculum for students to help them learn how subjects fit together. Throughout, classes are small (an average of 11 students), and help is everywhere from our professionally-staffed Learning Center to additional tutorials offered by classroom instructors.
