Students will find a supportive community that encourages team-building and constructive competition rather than destructive rivalries; a program that shepherds the mental, spiritual, and intellectual health of its high-achieving students; a refreshing and peaceful natural environment; a place for kindling intellectual curiosity and lifelong friendships; an innovative and active learning environment; and one-on-one coaching from professors who are thought leaders in their fields.
