What We Believe

We believe we must touch our students’ hearts and show them we care before we can expect them to engage in learning.

We believe students thrive in an environment that unlocks their intellectual curiosity through experiences that allow them to better understand the world and those around them.

We believe instruction must be student-centered and responsive to students’ diverse abilities and cultures.

We believe instruction must be engaging, rigorous, and relevant to students.

We believe we must engage parents and community stakeholders to maximize our educational impact. Through rigorous and relevant content instruction in English and Spanish, we increase students’ sense of responsibility and care for others at school, in their diverse communities, and throughout the world.
