Our philosophy Growth Mindset Resiliency and “Grit” Taking Various Perspectives Handling Controversy and Conflict Resolution High Expectations

Failures Lead to learning Click on the photo below to watch a short video.

Without challenge, there is no growth. HIGH EXPECTATIONS One of the largest shifts in modern education is the push to develop critical thinking skills. You should expect your student to answer questions that require deeper than surface-level thinking. This means your student may struggle— and that’s the point. Without challenge, there is no growth.

High expectations We have high expectations for your students’ behavior and academics because we know they can accomplish it with effort. Students will set goals each quarter and strive to reach them with strategies and reflection. When students are absent, they will not be excused from the work. They are responsible for figuring out what they missed and completing it on-time. Deadlines will be strictly enforced school-wide.
