People First – We recognize that learning flourishes when individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. We honor the identities, potential, and dignity of every individual within our school community.

We prioritize the well-being, growth, and development of every person. We foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported.

Excellence – We believe in striving for greatness in everything we do, setting high standards, and continuously pushing ourselves to achieve our fullest potential. Excellence is not a destination; it’s a journey. |
We define excellence as a commitment to continuous improvement, a passion for learning, and a pursuit of personal and academic growth. We embrace challenges, take risks, and develop a resilient mindset that embraces mistakes as opportunities for growth. Beyond academics, we believe in nurturing excellence in character and leadership. We celebrate our achievements and milestones, both big and small, and recognize the value of the learning process as much as the end result. At our school, excellence is not about competition or comparison. It’s about each individual striving to be the best version of themselves.

Wellness – We foster the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of every member of our school community. When we are physically and mentally healthy, we are better equipped to succeed academically, develop positive relationships, and thrive in all aspects of life. |
We affirm others in their identity to leverage self-pride and self-love. We model compassion, acceptance, and belief in ourselves and those we serve. We value the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between academics, personal life, and extracurricular activities. We employ appropriate coping skills to maintain our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We communicate our needs and are sensitive to the needs of others. We support one another in monitoring and regulating our emotions, and we model this practice for our scholars.
