Our Mission is to provide a school that works for all students: academically-socially-emotionally.
Our vision is to be the most student-centered school working to nurture, inspire, and empower our learners so that they become strong, successful individuals with 21st century skills. We define 21st century skills as being a critical thinker/problem solver, empowered, collaborative, curious, innovative, and resilient.
As Explorers We Are...
Respectful, Kind, Proactive, Courageous
Critical Thinkers, Collaborative, Curious, Creative, Empowered, Resilient
