Our caring teachers model our core values: PRIDE, Positive Attitude, Respect, Initiative, Dedication and Empathy We believe that a school is accountable for the socio-emotional development of its students. Each student's well-being and physical needs are important to us, and we support students in creating a strong, welcoming school culture that reflects their own community and home values. We strive to create a culture where students feel a sense of unity with their peers and teachers; have faith in the power of education; realize their own potential; and take ownership for their impact on the school environment and the community.
