International Mindedness
By valuing and embracing diversity in all forms, we become citizens of the world who are prepared to meet the challenges of an ever changing landscape and who contribute to making the world a better place.
Balanced Learner
When approaching learning holistically, we acknowledge the entire person—the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and artistic, thereby nurturing balance in life and learning.
Character
By acting with honesty and integrity, both virtues of character, we cultivate a life-long commitment to self-reflection and responsibility.
Lifelong Curiosity
At the heart of everything we do is learning in ways that promote natural curiosity and enjoyment of learning through authentic, inquiry-based, creative, and project-based learning experiences.
