Solebury School’s mission is to create an environment of educational excellence that prepares students for success in college and beyond. In the Solebury community, we strongly value academic and intellectual challenge, creative and independent thinking, mutual respect between students and teachers, and deep respect for each individual. Honors and AP courses, electives in the sciences and humanities, and strong art, theater, sports and community service programs encourage our students to develop all their skills and talents. Solebury's curriculum is highlighted by an academic theme, giving teachers and students’ common experiences to work on and promoting interdisciplinary learning. We seek to enroll students who are academically successful, passionate, curious, and engaged about learning.
