The shared belief that student success is dependent on a safe, caring, inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued. In addition to academic improvement, we continue to focus on the social, physical and emotional development of our students. Much of this starts with teaching our students about the value of character – respecting themselves and each other, making positive contributions to their school and community, thinking critically and creatively.
