Success Orientations “Success for All” is the motto of QSI Schools.  Personal habits and the ability to interact successfully with others are deemed as valuable as the knowledge and competencies students learn.  Success orientations are actively encouraged in virtually all areas of the school curriculum to make them a vital part of one’s life pattern.  Evaluations of the success orientations are limited to situations within the jurisdiction of the school and are made by a consensus of the professional staff members.  Each month is dedicated to a different success orientation. The success orientations are as follows: 1. Kindness/Politeness-September 2. Trustworthiness/October 3. Responsibility/November 4. Concern for Others/December & January 5. Aesthetic Appreciation/February 6. Independent Endeavor/March 7. Group Interaction/April
