Dedicated to Boys
We know boys will rise to the expectations set for them, and that is why our Code of Character is at the core of what we do every day. Our holistic approach immerses boys in activities that support their overall wellness and instill an appreciation for their peers’ and their own abilities.
Ethics, Service & Leadership
Students realize that their views and ideas matter, that their words can lift others, and that their actions, guided by respect, empathy, inclusivity, and civility, can effect positive change.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Students develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to value differences, encouraging both speaking and acting with integrity and compassion as well as an informed and respectful worldview.
Health, Wellness & Fitness
We know that healthy and happy boys learn better. That’s why we don’t compromise on anything that will foster boys’ mental, social, emotional, and physical well-being.
