About Our Program

We present an ever-evolving challenge to those who are motivated to accept it: 

Students will gain a comprehensive view of the nature of thought, knowledge, and human understanding in an environment of creative interaction.

With this guiding goal, honors students will explore the fundamental ideas of human civilization from a variety of academic disciplines. These students will be challenged to accept their moral responsibilities including

  • leadership
  • thoughtful self-governance
  • and service to others
