One of the fundamental beliefs of The ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ School is that students “work not for marks, badges, or honors; but to discover truth and to grow in human understanding and knowledge of the universe, to treasure the hard stretching of oneself, to render service.” Many of our accomplished alumni have embodied this philosophy as leaders in their respective fields, contributing their knowledge, skills and talent to make the world a better place.

Student Profiles
Ibrahim
Senior
Massachusetts
The art curriculum has shown me that there are other important things to society, and to learning about each other, and to life in general, because, through art, people express how they feel or express what they see.

ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ really allows you to come up with your own ideas. You’re not going to be judged. It’s like you’re free.
Josephine

ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ has cultivated this idea of community, that anything I do has to be working for something greater and bigger than myself.
Corinne
Senior
Maryland
At ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ it’s normal to be so multi-faceted. I really love the people, and how tight knit we are. I’ve learned that self advocacy is a real thing.
