Motto & Mission Statement The True, The Beautiful, The Good Wyoming Seminary’s school motto, Verum, Pulchrum, Bonum not only served as the guiding spirit of Wyoming Seminary in 1844 but as the words by which we live today. Sem graduate Howard Gardner ’61 embraced this motto, as was evidenced in an interview where he defined “the lasting values summarized in the triad: truth, beauty, and goodness. When I talk about truth, I’m talking about science but also folk knowledge; when I talk about beauty, I’m talking about the arts, but it could be nature as well; when I’m talking about goodness and evil I’m talking about morality.” The values expressed in Sem’s motto stand in sharp contrast to the disintegrating codes of conduct in today’s world. And that is the Sem difference: we dare to teach values at a time when they are eroding around us; we stand for something, and are proud of it. Mission Statement Within an exponentially changing world, Wyoming Seminary dares to teach our students to honor and strive for the true, the beautiful, and the good. Core Values • Passion for learning, leading, and serving • Integrity • Respect • Responsibility • Soundness of mind, body, and spirit Vision As a college preparatory school, Wyoming Seminary seeks to create active learners, responsible citizens, community leaders, and ethical individuals ready to take their place in the global community of the 21st century. True to our traditions and our values, Wyoming Seminary is committed to supporting promising students from varied backgrounds. Our curriculum emphasizes competition and collaboration, critical thinking and creativity, self-respect and respect for others. We challenge our students to discover their talents and their passions by offering an integrated program rich in artistic, athletic, and extracurricular opportunities that complement the school’s core commitment to academic excellence, personal integrity, spiritual growth, and community service. 4
