Staff and students at our school practice a set of principles that are the cornerstone and culture of our school. All adults and students are to practice and model these principles: fresh start, forgiveness & unconditional love, safe haven, reality & potential, desire to give back and be heard, honesty, joy & fun, and irrational commitment to students.

• Fresh Start – We believe all persons deserve fresh starts free of judgment and labels.
• Forgiveness and Unconditional Love – We believe all persons make mistakes and it is our goal to always practice forgiveness and unconditional love. We start every single day fresh with new chances.
• Safe Haven – We believe our school is a safe zone regardless of age, race, gender and any other affiliations and labels persons have in the community. We are all equal, respectful and tolerant at school.
• Reality and Potential – We focus on what is not what ought to be and always guide persons to their fullest potential. We bridge the gap between now and the future. Everybody has potential—reaching it is about good habits and commitment.
• Desire to Give Back and Be Heard – We believe all persons want to be heard and understood, and give back to their family and community. We provide and encourage these opportunities.
• Honesty – We believe honesty is the best policy. We strive to live transparent lives.
• Joy & Fun – We believe in hard work and fun. Finding joy and passion is the key to happiness. Laughter helps us survive the suffering.
• Irrational Commitment to Students – We are irrationally committed to each others’ well being. We need a community of support to succeed. We will not give up on people.
