School Notes
- *Our students are encouraged to become independent and critical thinkers, self-reliant, and resourceful. Only by thinking for themselves, understanding complex subject matters, and exercising creative problem-solving, can they meet the academic rigor necessary to excel in school and in life.
- *Enveloped by kindness, patience, and care, our students learn the value of civility, collaboration, and compassion. Modeling these values, teachers, parents, and students celebrate diversity and build relationships without regard to socioeconomic status, culture, or faith.
