McCallie Believes Our Christian tradition builds a strong moral foundation and a sense of civic and social duty. Personal integrity, as expressed in the Honor Code, is central to our life as a community. Our teachers should model a lifelong love of learning and intellectual growth and inspire students to develop the same. All students' spiritual growth is enhanced by instilling a respect for and an understanding of other religions and faiths. The development and practice of leadership and citizenship skills are critically important. Every individual should be treated with dignity. Racial, ethnic, religious, and economic diversity enhances our school community. Graduates should be skillful, as individuals and in groups, to set and achieve clear goals and develop strategies to solve problems. Boys learn in different ways, have different ways of demonstrating abilities, and require various instructional approaches and assessment strategies to thrive. Graduates should be men of compassion and moral courage. Everyone has a responsibility to be a positive role model. An all-boys environment enhances a boy's comfort and confidence in exploring a range of interests and developing competencies. Boys are active and need opportunities to channel their energies in constructive ways. Boys should be challenged and encouraged to be skilled readers, writers, speakers, and listeners. Higher-order thinking skills are enhanced by a program that emphasizes discovery and experiential learning. McCallie has more than a century of experience "Inspiring Boys and Building Men" in the Southeast and far beyond. Our unique combination of an all-boys student body, boarding and day schools, and a nationally-renowned college preparatory environment offers a truly unique educational experience for more than 10,000 boys for more than 100 years. What truly distinguishes McCallie will not be found in the descriptions of its curriculum or its extracurricular program. McCallie's spirit is found in the character of its community, in the interactions between students and teachers, in the values which daily define how we live, in our emphasis on ethical leadership, and in the way that we appreciate and celebrate boys. Lifelong learners are built. They learn to cherish curiosity and endure through setbacks and failures. They have encouraging adult mentors who push them to strive but support them when they struggle. They have peers who push themselves not for the sake of competition but the goal of improvement.
