Experience education as a "science of relationships" where connections between students, teachers, subjects, the world, ourselves and God are all a part of the learning process.

Experience a diverse school in Detroit where students love to learn because they have been known, loved and valued as persons themselves.

Experience an environment which celebrates all giftings and abilities, cultivates wide interests and seeks the thriving (not the testing) of students as the ultimate goal.

CORE VALUES

PEOPLE FIRST

Because they are created in the image of God, people have intrinsic value, purpose and worth. They come before programs and agendas and outcomes. Rather, they are the outcome. Students, teachers, staff, families, our community - they matter and we will always make choices based around that truth. We strive to be one of the best schools in Detroit, not for our sake, but because education is the gateway to so much for these amazing children.

LIBERAL ARTS

Following the philosophies of Charlotte Mason (a revolutionary British educator who stood against utilitarian education) we will champion a living education that encompasses the growth of the whole child. We will encourage a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom for the good of our students and their communities, while engaging them in a challenging liberal arts education.

EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE

In a world that increasingly commodifies people - especially children and particularly those in urban areas - we will provide an urban education that counteracts social inequality. We will break down barriers of means and circumstance to make an enriching education available to any and all.
