Purpose
We regard people as the single most important asset of our educational system. We strive to identify new and innovative methods to improve the quantitative, calculative, and strategic aspects of relationship building in a systemic manner. To that end, identifying and then further developing top talent is rightly worthy of the time and investment we give it. However, it’s not just about spotting the talent within, it’s also about keeping a keen eye on talent from outside our educational system as well.
Vision

Lifelong, self-directed learners
Critical and creative thinkers
Effective communicators
