Eastern and Western traditions of understanding the mind unite with scientific method to provide students with a beneficial double-edged sword of precision and clarity that cuts through assumptions to allow insight to arise.

The ability to perceive and think clearly about oneself and the world we live in is an essential outcome of an education at Eastern Sun Academy. The curriculum that arises from this guiding principle lies in the domain of the Sciences.
