Our two Strategic Directions of Real-World Problem Solving and Health and Wellness are fundamental for developing leaders who are healthy, kind, curious, courageous, and empathetic.

These directions serve as a framework for focused, intentional improvement in key areas of the student experience—ensuring lifelong learning and success for all of our students, today and in the future.


Real-World Problem Solving

  • Critical Thinking Skills: Provide more opportunities for first-hand experiences to foster the curiosity and empathy needed to be leaders in a complex world.
  • Design and Engineering Skills: Integrate design and engineering competencies into the curriculum to ignite curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
  • Hands-On Service Learning: Increase hands-on community service to open minds and hearts for a better understanding of the world and one’s self.

Health & Wellness

  • Joyful Learning: Foster a culture of work and joy that inspires ah-ha moments and lifelong learning.
  • A Community of Belonging: Ensure every student knows the school believes in them and that they feel known and valued.
  • Lifelong Habits: Weave proven strategies into the school day that encourage success, happiness, and health.
