- Personal integrity, as expressed in the Honor Code, is central to our life as a community.
- Our teachers should model a lifelong love of learning and intellectual growth and should inspire students to develop the same.
- The spiritual growth of all students is enhanced by instilling a respect for and an understanding of other religions and faiths.
- The development and practice of leadership and citizenship skills are critically important.
- Every individual should be treated with dignity.
- Racial, ethnic, religious, and economic diversity enhances our school community.
- Graduates should be skillful, as individuals and in groups, at setting and achieving clear goals and at developing strategies to solve problems.
- Boys learn in different ways, have different ways of demonstrating abilities, and require a variety of instructional approaches and assessment strategies in order to thrive.
- Graduates should be men of compassion and moral courage.
- Everyone has a responsibility to be a positive role model.
- An all boys environment enhances a boy’s comfort and confidence in exploring a range of interests and in developing competencies.
- Boys are active and need opportunities to channel their energies in constructive ways.
