Along with an impressive list of college acceptances, we can attest to the creative and meaningful alternatives to college that some students have pursued: travel, living abroad, volunteer work for both international and national organizations, including working in health clinics for women and children, working for sustainable living initiatives, and working with mentally handicapped people.

Students at The Hartsbrook School develop capacities, navigational tools, that can be used in any setting. They develop an ability to identify and appreciate goodness, beauty and truth, and to recognize and operate from a strong center within themselves.
