Recognizing that no two stars share the same sphere, our faculty strives to foster individual self-esteem, encourage creative thinking, and build moral character.
At the same time, we rejoice in the interactive design of the universe, and so we teach our stars the importance of friendship, cooperation, and a love and respect for all of God's children.
Our students are taught not to reach for the stars, but to become one.
