We are a diverse learning community dedicated to creative, intellectual and ethical growth. We support our students to become caring, self-aware, discerning and articulate individuals. We believe a fulfilling life includes personal accomplishments, meaningful relationships, and service to society.

We Value:
- Our learning community, which includes our students, faculty, administrators, staff, families, alumni and local, national, and international peers communities

- Continual exploration of how our students learn
- Creating a responsive and equitable learning environment where diverse perspectives are explored
- Intellectual inquiry that fosters a love of learning, open-mindedness, curiosity, self-discipline and perseverance
- The transformative power of the creative process
- Experiential outdoor learning that prioritizes an interconnectedness with nature, individual and collective well-being, and environmental stewardship
- Development of relationships based on self-acceptance, openness, empathy, honesty and respectful communication
- Experiences that cultivate a sense of belonging and visibility

Our Environment at Mount Madonna Center
We are hosted by Mount Madonna Center for the Creative Arts and Sciences, a residential community and conference center founded on the principles of yoga, and dedicated to non-harming, self-development and service to society. The values and the beauty of the Center’s 380-acre redwood forest provide a supportive and inspirational context in which our school learning community thrives.
