The faculty is a community of learners, in which the faculty are foremost learners, and secondarily, teachers. For example, there is one faculty room in which all teachers have desks, and no homerooms. The faculty meet for seminars four times a year; two per semester. The purpose is to read original works, such as "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt, "Four Colors Suffice" by Robin Wilson, or watch movies such as Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life". The faculty also participate in faculty colloquia, which focus on presentations by faculty on their interests, or movies of interest. Upon their graduation, the seniors ar welcomed into the community of learners.
