Our Vision

Our vision is to be the premier independent school in the region, educating the whole student—cognitively, socially, and emotionally—to prepare them for a rapidly changing world and their own personal future.

Our Mission

Southampton Academy challenges and encourages each student to learn and grow through academic experiences that combine innovation and tradition with moral and spiritual values in a supportive family environment. We value:

Morals and Character – desiring what is right and good; being accountable for one’s actions

Safety and Respect – providing for children’s physical and emotional security; teaching them to embrace diversity and to accept and appreciate people’s differences

Learning and Achievement – helping each child grow intellectually; maintaining academic standards and traditions in preparing students for success in higher education

Family and Community – encouraging supportive relationships among students, parents, faculty and staff
