Our Paradigms
- Everyone can lead.
- Everyone has genius.
- Change starts with me.
- Students are empowered to lead their own learning.
- Educators develop the whole child.
These are the overarching beliefs for the climate and culture of our school. Please ask your kids to tell you how they lead, what their genius is, an example of how they can affect change, how they've led their own learning this week, and if teachers worked on a Leader in Me lesson this week.
