Environment as teacher: Our classrooms are exciting and stimulating environments for learning. We use innovative and research-based methods of teaching that are student-centered and promote lifelong learning.
Student Voice: We value the unique abilities and gifts our students bring to the classroom. Programming is adaptive and inclusive and helps all our students contribute to our school and shape their own learning.

Being active: All staff and students are physically active every school day. Activities are designed to build skills, positive character and contribute to an active and healthy lifestyle.
Leadership: Building leadership capacity is critical for a positive and productive culture of learning. We cultivate leadership in staff, students and parents for the good of the individual, the school and the community.
