While the school had more than thirteen general goals (in addition to goals for teachers), these six goals were identified in the Elementary Handbook:
   1. Learn, use and enjoy social skills.
   2. Understand and enjoy beauty.
   3. Grow in richness of spirit.
   4. Develop a strong, healthy body.
   5. Wisely use one's thinking ability.
   6. Learn skills which will help one earn a living.
