Our Community Life
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers ... And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts ..." (Acts 2:42-47)

Classical School
Pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Nurturing a culture steeped in traditional Christian values, souls filled with wonder and awe, and hearts aspiring after Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. We are a co-operative grammar school for students seeking to enrich their education and Christian upbringing.
"We are a Christian school dedicated to traditional Christian values. Our teachers, families, and students belong to a wide range of different churches and denominations. What draws us together is a shared love for Christ, Scripture, classics, wonder, and creation. C. S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason are two personal heroes of mine, and their philosophy best describes the atmosphere of our school. My hope is to inspire in the hearts of our students a love for God, adventure, chivalry, and service." ~ Fr. Peter Kavanaugh, Headmaster

Etiquette & Dress Code
We aspire to nurture respect and courtesy, and consider a dress code to be an important part of a child's development of self-respect and chivalry.
All boys are required to wear trousers, dress shirt, tie, and blazer or sweater.
All girls are required to wear dresses or skirts and tops. As a celebration of the virtue of modesty, we ask that skirts fall below the knee.
* This dress code is modified during our Summer Semester. During the summer, students may wear play clothes, so long as shorts and skirts are modest.
