学校简介

General Overview and Philosophy

韦德娱乐app下载地址 was founded in 1925 as a progressive alternative to the more rigid and authoritarian and educational systems of the time. We have continued on this progressive path, adopting many innovative programs well before their common acceptance in American education. Today we continue our tradition as a college preparatory, co-educational boarding and day school, enrolling 250 students in grades 9 through 12 on our bucolic 140-acre camps in the Pennsylvania countryside.

We encour年龄 students and 教师 to act collegially in the learning process and to form relationships based on mutual respect. Intrinsic to our philosophy is a profound respect for the individual and a rejection of conformity for its own sake. Each student is encour年龄d to think creatively, independently and critically, and to understand his or her responsibility to the larger world. While our style is informal, our curriculum is rigorous and prepares students for success at a range of colleges according to their best fit, including the most selective schools in the nation.
