why an independent school?

What makes an independent school worth the trouble of applying and -- yes -- paying the expense to enroll your children?

• High academic standards
• Small classes and individual attention
• Excellent teachers
• Greater likelihood of a student completing a bachelor's degree or graduate degree
• Education for the whole child
• Inclusiveness
• A community of parents who actively participate in their children's education
• The opportunity to choose a school with a mission
• And most important: An education that will pay dividends for a lifetime
