About
Philosophy Statement
The D’Evelyn program is based on the belief that all students, not just an elite group, should be held to rigorous academic and behavioral standards and that all students can achieve in a challenging program. We believe the purpose of education is to convey an essential body of cultural knowledge to the next generation, and that a solid liberal arts education is required for all citizens to be effective participants in their communities.
Independent, analytical reasoning, based on objective knowledge, is an essential skill and is encouraged throughout the program. There is an emphasis on year-to-year sequential continuity in the development of basic knowledge and competence, with gradually increasing complexity and requirements. A mastery of the skill and knowledge acquired through the study of the basic academic subjects is the foundation for all subsequent learning, regardless of the student’s future pursuits.
Though the academic disciplines are distinct, they are also related and reinforce each other. A sound, content-rich curriculum consists of a healthy balance of required core subjects, augmented by equally challenging electives. The classes involve teacher-led, whole-group instruction. Students will be evaluated using an objective grading system.
A good work ethic will be expected of all.
As a liberal arts school, D’Evelyn focuses on core academic subjects that build a foundational understanding of knowledge important to the pursuit of postsecondary studies. D’Evelyn students develop the ability to think critically, to communicate effectively and to be an engaged citizen.
While D’Evelyn students are encouraged as individuals, our program is not modified for individual needs and preferences. The same rigorous standards apply to all students and provides the basis for assessment and evaluation.
