Our Core Beliefs Shape Everything We Do

Respect

Teachers are responsible for providing opportunities and tools for supporting student self-esteem and respecting the dignity of both the student and the adult.

Independence

Students should do most of the thinking and have the opportunity to make decisions and live with the results, whether the consequences are good or bad.

Guidance

Students should be guided and expected to solve the problems they create without making problems for anyone else.

Students should be guided and expected to solve the problems they create without making problems for anyone else.

Nurturance

Misbehavior is an opportunity for learning for all involved and should be handled with natural consequences rather than punishments whenever possible.

Nurturance

Misbehavior is an opportunity for learning for all involved and should be handled with natural consequences rather than punishments whenever possible.

Voice

There’s a logical connection between misbehavior and resulting consequences, so students should have the opportunity to tell their side of the story when consequences appear unfair.

Accountability

Through personal accountability, we provide uncompromising quality in the care and education of every little learner.
