Students experiences are positive, engaging, and rewarding and build on individual strengths. Students are willing, able, and active contributors to their community. Children and youth are respected and valued by the community. All students are healthy and ready to learn. Schools inspire a lifetime love of learning.
Students develop emotional health, compassion, empathy and respect for self and others.
Schools are hubs of community involvement and learning. We believe that education must be flexible and responsive to the changing needs of students, the community, and society. We believe that schools must provide a comprehensive, focused education which challenges the whole student. We believe that schools must be accountable to the public, providing a quality education while making efficient use of public resources. We believe that schools must teach and demonstrate the interdependence of the natural environment and the human community.
