学校简介

General Overview and Philosophy

韦德娱乐app下载地址学校成立于1925年，是当时较为僵化和专制的教育制度的进步选择. We have continued on this progressive path, 在许多创新项目被美国教育普遍接受之前就采用了它们. Today we continue our tradition as a college preparatory, co-educational boarding and day school, 招收了250名9到12年级的学生，在我们位于宾夕法尼亚州乡村的140英亩的田园营地里.

我们鼓励学生和教师在学习过程中共同行动，并在相互尊重的基础上建立关系. 我们哲学的本质是对个人的深刻尊重，拒绝因循守旧. 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, 我们的课程是严格的，并准备学生成功在一系列的大学根据他们的最适合, including the most selective schools in the nation.
