for Charter Schools
Compassion • Equity • Inclusion
I Believe That…
If each and every school leader compassionately serves their students and families by promoting a safe, equitable, and learning-centered school culture, and
If each and every teacher fosters an inclusive, responsive, and rigorous learning community,
Then each and every child will fulfill their potential and be well-prepared for the dynamic future because they have been nurtured emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
