Recognizing the decline of student mental health, fundamental life skills education, and accountability among administration and teachers, we aim to establish a new standard for the future of schooling that places students first so that each individual can make their intellectual achievements live up to their intellectual potential.

Our character curriculum is based on the 4 E’s: Excellence, Emotional Strength, Engagement, and Etiquette

Excellence refers to cultivating the skills needed to rise to the top of one’s field. We look to those who have achieved excellence, in the present and in the past, as mentors to guide us to reach the upper limits of our potential.

Emotional Strength requires us to calmly face words and outcomes that do not always align with what we want. We aim to instill in all members of our community an internal locus of control, wherein we cannot control everything around us, but we can control our responses and embrace moments of difficulty as periods of growth

Engagement is focus and accountability for our work and goals. It requires empathy and awareness of our community and the greater world beyond, as well as of ourselves.

Etiquette means that we treat others how we would like to be treated. We instill respect and the guidelines of proper decorum in our community, as we see this as tantamount to success.

**Please note that The Wolfe School is only active in 2024 for summer programs. The full school is set to launch in Fall, 2028.

Our Mission

The Wolfe School motto, Amor Discendi, translates to “the love of learning,” which we hold sacred in all our students. By fostering and fiercely protecting intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and self-sufficiency in our entire student body and staff, we aim to ensure that school is a place that empowers young people on their journey to self-discovery and higher learning.
