Three key principles— human dignity, free choice, and enduring truths— provide the important “why” to all that we do. The core of our mission is to help students flourish— now and throughout their lives. Because we are social creatures, to flourish means to be able to love, both ourselves and others. Love enables us to see people and events for what they really are—independent of how useful or pleasant they are to us. Education is, then, at its core, an introduction to love.
