VALUES-BASED EDUCATION

 We are a small, nurturing environment that   instills intentionality and compassionso our students emerge as adventurous activists ready to meet  the sustainability demands of our rapidly changing and interconnected world. 

1) Intentionality: Actions should be completed with a purpose in mind; it’s what each individual is willing to bring to the group that will enhance and strengthen our values. 

2) Compassion: Encouraging mindful interactions with others, but also towards ourselves. Willingness to take risks; build bravery, resilience and how to safely fail. 

3) Adventure: Actions should be approached with a sense of curiosity, a passion for exploration, with the courage to embrace fear.  

4) Activism: Encouraging one another to engage and take responsibility in our communities to identify/ correct inequalities with the understanding that we can make an impact, as change makers. 

5) Sustainability: Actions should be approached from the mindset that their impact is enduring.
