Mastery
Students must have deep knowledge and understanding and the ability to apply that to new contexts and situations. It is an attitudinal disposition that emphasizes continuous learning and growth over success/perfection.
Leadership
The world requires gifted, creative, and competent leadership. Leadership as part of our design supports a vision of the world in which equity and justice are essential. Our students will shape the world, not be defined by it.
Community
Community is the basis for healthy development and for active engagement to share the world. Community as a goal of education is predicated on the understanding that if it takes a village to raise a child, why not help raise the village.
