This expansive campus integrates historic charm with modern facilities, including a 1740 Manor House, multiple libraries, a research-grade observatory, athletic stadium, and natural features like ponds and trails that extend learning beyond traditional classrooms. The academic focus emphasizes experiential, hands-on education through a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach in the Primary School, building foundational skills in Lower School (Pre-K to Grade 5), fostering growth in Middle School (Grades 6-8), and preparing for college in Upper School (Grades 9-12) with rigorous curricula and personalized counseling.
The campus supports seamless progression with study skills development, close faculty relationships, and unique features like STEAM labs and observatory-based astronomy, ensuring students refine interests and achieve college readiness while embracing lifelong values.
