set forth in the teachings of the Buddha. Accordingly, courses in Buddhist
Studies are requisite for all students. Students of all faiths, however, are
welcome.

their own spiritual natures and inherent wisdom.
With an emphasis on:
| Respect for parents, teachers, and elders |
| Empathy |
| Good Citizenship |
| Trustworthiness |
| Propriety |
| Social Justice |
| Humility |

... students cultivate specific skills for ethical leadership and service
to humanity.
