Our Mission

Our mission is to develop successful young adults who are leaders for peace and social justice.  We are doing this by building the most incredible high school that has a small, tight knit school community alongside the learning opportunities of a much larger school.  We want our students and their families to know they are being both challenged and supported every day to help them be their best selves.
