Values
- Open Doors
- Captured in our vision statement, “For every child, an open door” we envision two sets of doors; one when students first enter our doors as our students. The first door is open and welcoming to all children and their families. It opens to outstanding teachers, a high-quality curriculum, and an organized, predictable school environment where students can develop their own agency and voice.
The second door, or ideally many doors, is at the end of our program, once students go off to high school and then college or career. Our goal is to support students in such a way that doors to the opportunities of their choice are wide open to them - that these open doors are accessible to them and lead them towards opportunity-rich lives as adults.
