Library

Cultivating Curiosity, Crafting Thinkers

The library program includes early morning access, weekly classes for every grade, and special events such as author and illustrator visits. Students learn to search for books independently, explore genres, use the library computer system, and engage their imaginations to consider life’s big questions. The library offers a quiet space where boys can explore books that interest them and begin the process of lifelong, independent learning.

The library supports the curriculum, assists with research, and offers an extensive collection of fiction and non-fiction for reading enjoyment. Our intention is to graduate students as competent users of information, critical thinkers, and young men with a lifelong, voracious appetite for reading.
