Like Dr. Montessori, we recognize that education
requires an ethical environment in which the values
of the community are respected and the worth of the
individual protected. Our philosophy includes the
cultivation of the following values:
- Self-reliance and hard work. We facilitate
education based on self-inquiry while maintaining
Academy-wide standards of academic excellence. We
recognize the intrinsic rewards of the
children's work.
- Respect for other people, including those who
live or lived in other places and times. We
emphasize the positive advances achieved by
humans rather than the wars raged by them.
- International and interpersonal peace. We seek
to create situations where children cooperate at
least as much as they compete.
