We believe that free age-mixing among students is a vital component of learning to live and thrive as a whole community. We value the inherent curiosity and creativity in every person, and we strive to provide an environment that nurtures both. We trust the school's judicial process to uphold the community-created Lawbook, providing a safe and fair culture in which our students can learn and grow.
