Our Mission

Through our collective investment, students think creatively, engage in problem solving skills, reflect on learning and communicate powerfully and compellingly as effective 21st Century critical thinkers. In a state of physical, mental and social well-being, stakeholders are comfortable taking intellectual risks and making contributions to the community. As a school community, we celebrate the unique gifts in each individual and support each to become successful - socially, emotionally and academically - in an environment of trust, safety and academic challenge that will prepare each child for the unimagined prospects of tomorrow.
