Our character education program complements and reinforces our academic program. We teach students that character shapes how we approach every aspect of life, including learning and achievement. Innovative leaders must demonstrate the tenacity, integrity, and curiosity needed to tackle society’s most complex challenges.
Grounded in Restorative Practices and Responsive Classroom methodology, our internally developed program builds a caring school community that prioritizes relationships and character development. These practices foster a sense of belonging and connection among students. Our school is founded on the core values of resilience, integrity, excellence, grit, and accountability.
