• We believe that diversity in all its forms enriches our community of learning.

    We believe all students can learn, but not at the same rate or in the same way.

    We believe that care is what sustains us in our common pursuits, care for our own and others’ uniqueness, consideration for one another’s feelings,
    and concern for those who need our help and understanding.
