School Notes
- School Motto: Full of Wonder
- All education is value driven.Regardless of a claim to be neutral,all education has an end or "good"in mind. At Mirus, we believethe mind and the affections needto be directed toward the Good,the True, and the Beautiful. In this, the educationalenterprise is not an emptyexercise of becoming clever or"practical," but rather it is an endeavorto expand one's heart andmind to be transformed by the wonderof God. The world does not need more studentswithout chests, it needs more studentshumbled by the wonder of God."We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise."- C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
