From the writings of Priscilla Gabel, circa 1946

A true education involves more than formal development of the mind alone--it must develop the whole nature of a young human being to the utmost of his individual capacity.

Concurrent with the disciplines necessary to acquiring skill in reading, writing, and arithmetic, we develop the child's powers to observe, to reason, to perceive relationship, to form judgments, to act, and to create.

It is essential constantly to cultivate in children not only intellectual curiosity but also attitudes of reverence and humility, obedience and respect.

Let him daily tell or write or sing or dance or act or paint all that he has seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted.

We aim to develop in each child an inquiring mind that wants to search out facts and truths about the world in which we live.
