School Values

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) 

At Success Academy, we believe that mutual respect is at the heart of our school community. We talk to children about the responsibility we have to ourselves and to one another to do what is right and kind, to be honest and open, and to treat others as we wish to be treated. Discrimination is against the law, and it is the policy of Success Academy to respect every member of our community regardless of race, color, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, disability, or sexual orientation, including a person’s LGBTQ identity. We do so not just because it’s our legal obligation, but because we believe that all people should be treated fairly.

Success Academy is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, not just by running public schools that give children from all backgrounds access to an exceptional education, but also by ensuring that all scholars, parents, and staff are treated with respect; regularly reviewing school policies and guaranteeing that their implementation is equitable, fair, and inclusive.

Academic Integrity

Honesty is a cornerstone at Success Academy, and we take academic integrity very seriously. Academic cheating includes, but isn't limited to, the following behaviors:

• Plagiarism: Presenting someone else's work, ideas, or language as your own. This includes copying from another student or using unauthorized online resources without proper credit. 

• Gaining Unfair Advantages: Using unauthorized resources or technology, such as "chat bots" or artificial intelligence, to complete assigned work.

• Falsifying Work: Changing answers during corrections or altering school assignments in any way.

We begin discussing cheating with students in elementary school, explaining why it's wrong, what it looks like, and its consequences. As parents, you play a vital role in reinforcing these values. Please help us prevent cheating and other dishonest behaviors by talking with your children about right and wrong.
