It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge the Munsee Lenape people and their ancestors whose homelands we reside on today.

As an educational institution founded by French Protestant descendants, we explore the lives of the early European settlers who left their homes to start anew in an unfamiliar landscape. We also recognize the enslaved and disenfranchised peoples who helped build this place and fought for their freedom and rights.
