OUR M I S S I O N
We empower adolescents to
explore and grow their unique
intellectual, ethical, and
creative capabilities and to
treasure the same diversity
and growth in others.

INCLUSION VISION
We aspire to be a community in which all members have a
voice, are given respect, and see their identities reflected
and affirmed in the curriculum, activities, and physical
and virtual environments of the school.
O U R C O R E VA L U E S
Personal and Community Responsibility: Accountability
for one’s own words and actions, and respect for the
right of others to that same opportunity. We recognize
that one’s membership in a community requires active
participation, and sometimes the needs of the community
supersede the needs of the individual.
Integrity: Behaving and speaking in such a way as to
foster trust from individuals and the community at all
times. This includes honest, respectful, moral, and ethical
speech and actions. Open and honest communication is
critical to the healthy functioning of the school.
Creativity and Inquiry: Encouraging multiple or novel
solutions that respect diverse perspectives and take
advantage of all available resources in independent
and collaborative settings. Information gathering and
interpreting meaning lead to a broad range of options and
applications.
Confidence: Working persistently toward developing the
state of mind and self-respect that allows students to
perform their role comfortably and courteously. Students
are encouraged to seek a healthy balance between leading
and supporting as they work together for the good of the
classroom and the school community.
