History

The school was organized by Mennonite families at the opening of World War II. Because of a concern about the influence of patriotism and the call of war, the Mennonites decided to create a school centered around their beliefs of pacifism and tolerance. As it grew and merged with other districts, expectations of students have become less rigid, resulting in a more relaxed and free atmosphere.
