A log, a cedar tree for shade, a sheep-shed for a home, a dream, a vision, a resistless urge.

Our Campus Community
We are an independent coeducational college preparatory boarding school, preparing students for leadership through an innovative, high-quality, academic, and experiential learning program. While our campus is uniquely situated in rural Mississippi (20 miles from Jackson, the state capital), our students hail from more than 20 national and international states and jurisdictions. We are a campus learning community. Extending nearly 2,000 acres, our school includes a 65-acre main campus, a 250-acre demonstration farm, several lakes and ponds, over 1,000 acres of wildlife and renewable timber, and much more.
