The Discovery of Independence

Education should prepare a student for the "real world." From the rugged challenges of the outdoors to the complexities of modern finance, we ensure our students are self-reliant and practical.

The story of independence starts in the dirt, learning to marvel at nature and navigate the physical world with wonder. As students enter Primary, they begin to master the practical skills of "doing," from basic survival techniques to kitchen fundamentals. Middle School pushes these boundaries further, taking students into the wild to build self-reliance and grit through adventure. The journey culminates in High School with "Adulting" in its truest sense: mastering the financial, practical, and professional competencies that ensure they step out of our gates as confident, self-sufficient adults.
