As a community, AMS promotes both self-esteem and self-reliance by providing continuous opportunities for students to succeed in classes, work projects, outdoor challenges, interpersonal relationships, community service, group decision making and peaceful resolution of conflict.

At the heart of AMS is a fundamental conviction, based on the school’s many years of experience with junior high students, that the healthiest education for adolescents combines intellectual, physical, emotional, social and spiritual growth, and in the process opens the way for a lifetime of learning.

For young people at the middle level of education, Arthur Morgan School is a healthy, creative, joyful place for adolescents to make the transition from childhood to adulthood and to learn by interacting with their peers, their teachers and counselors, and especially with themselves, what it takes to become caring, confident and competent young men and women.
