A Four Year Journey of Athletic and Outdoor Adventure

The ancient Greeks understood that an intimate bond between athletic, moral and intellectual development leads to human strength and independence.  They called excellence in body, mind and character Areté, and they believed these three skills could be most dynamically nurtured in concert with one another.

We believe that teenagers need to maintain respect for their developing bodies.  Our physical education classes, which are offered to all our students each week, are focused on expanding each student’s physical capacities while deepening his or her level of self-respect. 

Additionally, all our students have the opportunity to participate in a number of varied team sports with their classmates.  Adolescents are ready to compete with one another with both vigor and respect.  We open up the playing fields to their enthusiasm and skill.

Finally, each of our classes leaves campus at least once a year to spend extended time learning, exploring and living in nature with professional guides.  Classrooms and desks are fine places to study – but not all of the time.  Our students have the opportunity to learn together alongside the sea and in our local mountains and desert.
