Our Mission
Stratford Hall educates students to the highest global standards, through the programs of the International Baccalaureate. Excellence and confidence are developed through a challenging academic curriculum with further emphasis on creativity, action, and service. We foster a strong, pluralistic community built on integrity and respect.
Our Vision
Stratford Hall strives to be a global leader in the International Baccalaureate community. Our students will gain a deep understanding of the world around them, and they will act on their connections to the outside community. They will excel to the best of their abilities, and graduates will be equipped to achieve their chosen goals. This is accomplished by acquiring and retaining the best teachers and by a commitment to a balanced and enriched curriculum. The success of Stratford Hall is deeply rooted in the establishment of a supportive, knowledgeable, and committed community.

Pluralism
“Pluralism is upping the ante on diversity. It is taking diversity and doing something with it. Beyond toleration, beyond acknowledgement lies pluralism, a place where we not only live around people of different cultures, but also actively learn from, appreciate, and incorporate their different communities, beliefs, and histories into our everyday lives and understandings of the world around us. It is being open and accepting to all ideas and cultures without necessarily losing your own beliefs: heaven forbid you are ever influenced enough by another culture to change your mind about something.” From Carrie Lorensen, the Harvard Pluralism Project
