Mission, Vision and Values

Our mission in action

Mission

Our mission is to bring our students into relationship with themselves, their community and their world.  We guide our students to unite across differences, honor multiple perspectives, and to see within themselves the changes they hope to see in their world.  We make this mission come to life through student agency, dialogue, cooperative learning and authentic, community-based learning experiences.

Vision

Our vision is a community of curious and empathetic learners with a deep understanding of the world, their role in it, and their own power to make a difference.
