Picturesque area

Our beautiful valley is nestled between PA’s Pocono Mountains and NY’s Catskill Mountains.  Hiking, biking, hunting and fishing are common throughout our area.  Milford is considered the “birthplace of the American conservation movement” and is home to the US Forest Service’s Grey Towers national historic site and the National Park Service’s Delaware Water Gap recreational area.  New York City is only 75 miles away with local commuter train service available.  

Great culture

Continuous improvement – that burning desire to do it better today than yesterday, and to enjoy today’s accomplishments then try to do it even better tomorrow!

Collaboration – the synergy of teams working together to improve teaching and learning; teachers working in isolation is a waste of time and energy. Stephen Covey was famous saying for 1+1= far more than 2 because of the synergies of multiple people putting their heads together to do it better.

Care – focusing on the whole child and not just academics; we want to help mold awesome citizens! We work to make sure they are safe, healthy, engaged, supported and challenged.

Leadership –  all great organizations begin and end with great leadership; we believe it is crucial to develop the leadership of our students through the teaching of goal-setting, delegation, decision-making, time management, communication, and self-awareness.
