“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
What a great privilege we have to prepare our young men and women for the world! Senior School, the last four years of high school, encourages the fostering of personal qualities of commitment, integrity and reliability, to prepare for work or further study. Students develop positive academic work habits, strengthen their sense of personal purpose and perspective, and in a rapidly changing world, begin to form and consolidate their priorities for life after school.
