Experiential Learning
We believe in a constructivist/inquiry based approach to student learning in which the construction of knowledge is an active social, emotional, and intellectual process that involves student interest, academic orientation, and peer support.

Collaboration and Community
We believe that learning is both an individual and socially collaborative process. Through engagement with global, national, local, and classroom communities, students learn about, with, and through those communities.

Global Mindset and Skills
We believe that learning involves creativity through active engagement, critical thinking through the questioning of assumptions, and understanding through the exploration of local and global communities.

Competency, Care, and Professionalism
We believe that exemplary teachers are those that demonstrate competency with content and pedagogy, exhibit care for students and their families, and maintain professional interactions with colleagues, students, and the community.

Communication and Transparency
We believe that the best teaching occurs when teachers and students communicate through an open and honest dialogue with one another.
