The Spire School is a unique private day school that combines a high caliber, rigorous college prep program with an overall emphasis on wellness of mind and body.

The mission of Spire is to empower students to achieve their academic goals and to support them in becoming confident, resilient human beings who view and embrace life as a series of exciting challenges and possibilities.

Students at Spire are intellectually capable individuals who need direction and support. They may have constraining beliefs about their abilities due to unsuccessful academic experiences, and these self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs become how they define themselves. Scholastic achievement, therefore, involves teaching our students to uncover and question those basic assumptions that undermine their academic potential.

Our objective at Spire is to help students know themselves as learners, as people, and as members of a vibrant community. We believe that intellectual passion, emotional and physical health are all interrelated and therefore, we begin with a metacognitive approach that teaches students about their unique learning profiles. Next, through our individualized academic program, we help students develop the skills needed to extend this self-examination to their physical, social, and emotional well-being. With an emphasis on exercise, nutrition, and proper self-care, we help our students regulate their emotions and develop interpersonal skills such as effective communication, good listening, empathy, and conflict resolution.

Our approach at Spire is to create a team of community-based allies, particularly parents, who work in concert to support and encourage our students. Our staff works in collaboration with those people who play significant roles in our students' lives, including family members, outside professionals, or clergy. This is central to the Spire approach because these relationships weave strong social support networks that sustain and enrich our students.

Beyond our mission, it is our ultimate hope that Spire students grow into responsible individuals able to enrich their own lives and contribute to the community at large.
