Select Department:

Our School Mission challenges us to base our exploration of the past in the "spiritual education of the heart, soul, and mind." Thus, we conceive of history not simply as an edifying entertainment or utilitarian exercise in citizen building, but as a moral exercise: the critical examination of what our human nature has wrought in its ever-changing physical, cultural and temporal settings. Guiding students through the Ancient and Medieval experiences and into those of Modern Europe, the history curriculum introduces the great personalities, ideas, and decisions which shaped Western Civilization. The investigation of the American experience follows naturally from this genealogy of the West. Our dedication to the development of insightful reading, critical thinking, and compelling speech and writing concludes with electives in the social sciences, global history, and a focused national case study.
