How we L.E.A.D.

We believe that a culture built on these core values will create a safe and supportive learning environment that represents the essence of our school. We believe children who are cared for, and believed in, will develop the capacity to believe in, and care for, themselves and others.

Love

We show great interest, collegiality and positivity in our interactions with all members of our community. We cultivate empathy through strong relationships and collaboration.

Excellence

We always strive for our ”good” to become “better”, and our “better” to become our “best”. This applies to all areas, not just education, and for all members of the community.

Authenticity

We ensure alignment of our learning to authentic work, hold ourselves to the highest levels of integrity, employ just and equitable practices, and remain true to our mission at all times.

Discipline

We set and accomplish our personal and collective goals. In the face of adversity, we stay the course, persevere, and accomplish the task.

Our Graduates

We will know that our students are on track to be leaders of themselves, their futures, and their communities when they have mastered specific academic skills, and personal and interpersonal effectiveness competencies. Our Graduate Outcomes help orient us towards the definition of leadership that matters most for our students.
