Essential to LIVING a well-balanced life of meaning and contribution is developing the dispositions necessary to be resilient in the face of adversity. We accomplish this by emphasizing strong developmental relationships and creating brave learning spaces where students and teachers challenge themselves and each other to grow.
Goal: Cultivate learning environments that equip students of all ages with the skills and habits of mind to develop resilience and perseverance; engage others bravely, confidently, and respectfully; grow from setbacks; understand the importance of community; and develop empathy for the diversity of human experience.
