Our Values

It is not what we say, but what we do that matters.

Student Success Drives our Success

From the front door to the classroom, we are passionate in our commitment to take a personal interest in discovering what motivates and excites each student.

Appreciate People, Land and Culture

Whether student, co-worker or community member, we look for and nurture each other's potential. We approach each other with kindness and a caring for our future and the future of our communities. We celebrate each other's histories and accomplishments, knowing that when others do better, we all do better.

Listen and Accelerate Understanding

We listen first so that we can foster each other's success. Improving our listening improves our learning, our relationships and our productivity while minimizing conflict and misunderstanding.

Be Curious and Creative

We learn here! And when we approach learning and life with an open mind, ready for change, and able to view things in new ways, we can better support those around us to grow and learn as well. We will judge less and ask more frequently "What did we learn?" and "How else could we approach this?"
