Core Values

Empowering Individuals

We believe all individuals have the power to reach their potential and make a difference in their families, their community, and the world at large. We believe education is the key to unlocking this potential and think respect is at the heart of a successful education.  We respect all of our students – whether they are five years old or 45 years old; through respecting our students, we instill confidence which is imperative for their success.

Fostering Independence, Integrity, and Humor

We believe a little humor goes a long way. We find that putting the fun in learning is crucial to engaging our students in a meaningful way. When students are engaged they are compelled to take more responsibility for both their academic mistakes and successes.  In taking responsibility to become active thinkers, mathematicians, writers, scientists, and musicians our students gain independence and integrity.
