Character | We practice kindness, develop moral courage, cultivate self-discipline, and seek individual purpose that connects us to the greater good. We speak with honesty, express respect for self and others, act with humility, and embrace differing perspectives to engage with the world and lead with integrity.

Knowledge | We challenge with high expectations and nurture with support, meeting learners where they are and taking them further than they think possible. We foster joy and intellectual curiosity in acquiring knowledge, stimulating creativity and creating a lifetime love of learning. We pursue meaningful questions and instill concrete competencies, habits, and knowledge that learners transfer to the real world.

Community | We are an inclusive community of students, teachers, parents, alumni, and local partners rooted in a culture of trust and a deep sense of belonging. We grow through collaboration, cross-age interactions, and a commitment to service and experiences that encourage us to see the world through a lens of empathy, respect, and appreciation of others.

Leadership | We feel authentic responsibility to ourselves and our community. We understand our role as citizens to act for the greater good and seek solutions for a complex world through learning, reflecting, and ethical decision making.

Environment | We venture into our mountains and valleys to discover a sense of place in the natural world. We learn to love our environment and reflect on our role within it so we can be responsible stewards for future generations.
