We provide quality academic instruction designed to challenge each student to self-direction.
In the academic sphere, students are guided to develop basic skills and to acquire knowledge that is the foundation for further learning in the academic, practical, and technological world in which we live.
They are helped to grow toward learning to think morally, rationally, logically, and critically.
