Berkeley-Carroll School

N-12. In keeping with Dr. Allen's vision, the mission of Poly Prep Country Day School is to prepare students for college and for life by fostering learning, health, leadership, community responsibility, and, above all, character. A day-long program of academics, physical education and athletics, arts, and extracurricular activities is guided by a strong, committed faculty, in a diverse school community, on campuses with outstanding facilities.

Rooted in Quaker values of integrity and compassion, this independent school nurtures curious minds and engaged citizens through rigorous academics and meaningful community connections. Students develop critical thinking skills alongside the character and courage to lead with purpose, all within a vibrant, culturally diverse learning environment that honors each individual's growth.

Striving to create an environment in which all constituent partners - students, faculty, guidance, personnel, administration and parents - nurture and respect the essential contribution and the value of the others so that we can provide an education that prepares students to make decisions that will enhance the quality of their lives. We strengthen their abilities using activities and skills taught through academics, majors, the arts, and extracurricular activities - all part of our standards based educational program. http://www.clarabartonhs.org/

Walking through Samuel J. Tilden High School's corridors, you'll find educators who pour themselves into helping students grow into capable, thoughtful adults. The mission here centers on equipping graduates with both the technical knowledge and interpersonal strengths they'll need to thrive as the world keeps shifting around them. The school draws on the cultural richness and values each student brings through their door—whether that's on a crisp winter morning or any other day. As learners build confidence in themselves, they're simultaneously developing genuine respect for backgrounds different from their own. The environment here pushes young people to become academically sharp, socially conscious, and intellectually curious individuals ready to navigate tomorrow's complex, interconnected world with assurance and skill.

God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Love, has in all truth overshadowed us and claimed us body and soul as a "prized" possession. The spirit has infused into our souls the gifts of wisdom, counsel, understanding, fortitude, knowledge, peity and fear of the Lord. Our God is willing and anxious to set our hearts on fire and to send us out into our life's work confident in love.
