Along with these quantifiable measures, we prize the less tangible accolades our students collect from those who meet them – “polite”, “confident without being arrogant”, “interested”, and “good kids”. Small class sizes, superb facilities, and especially devoted teachers are a few of the secrets to our success. Our teachers know their students beyond the classroom. Many coach sports, debate, or robotics teams and all lead outdoor adventure programs intended to foster trust and self-confidence.
Being an independent school, our teachers have the freedom to meet their students where they are and lead them where they want to go, without having to “teach to a test”. When those students get to college – including some of the most competitive schools in the nation – their professors routinely report that they are better prepared than their peers. And their rates of graduation from four-year institutions far exceed the national average.
If your aim is excellence, I hope you will come and visit the Upper School to see how we can help you reach your goals.

Head of Upper School
