What We Do

Our mission is to form whole and happy men through adventurous encounters with the good, true, and beautiful, bringing our students into meaningful contact with each other and the things of earth and heaven. We take into account a boy’s appetite for action, and so send him roving with Robin Hood, praying with St. Francis, and running with Achilles. We know boys enjoy challenges, and so we square them off with Euclid and Shakespeare. We understand a boy’s capacity for supernatural virtue and participation in grace, and so engage him in sublime liturgy and a lively prayer life. 

We see his need for imaginative and emotional appreciation of reality and the arts, and so give him songs to sing, poems to say, balls to juggle, boards to saw, images to carve, and animals to tend. We form boys with thoughtful minds, pilgrim hearts, and contemplative souls, that they may become real men with real loves for real things, men who can see and sing and speak, men who know their God and know their pious duties. In these lie a happiness which is holiness, and that beatitude is our mission.
