As an independent, Episcopal, co-educational, college-preparatory school, Casady's mission is to provide a stimulating and supportive environment in which qualified students can grow and learn. Membership in the Casady School community should allow young people to acquire an enduring love of learning, an understanding of traditional ethical principles, a social conscience, and an appreciation for physical health. The School promotes and encourages academic excellence. Students should master a determined body of knowledge within a classical education, and they should acquire the skills to use that knowledge. To read with comprehension, to write intelligently, to speak articulately, to understand the scientific nature of our world, to think creatively and analytically, and to value artistic expression are basic goals. The School recognizes that learning differences exist and works within its mission and resources to determine the best outcome for individual students.
