Core Value
Core values are the central beliefs and behavioral norms which are expected to be clearly understood and shared by every member of the school community – school leaders, teachers, administrative staff, and students. We believe in and are guided by these values in our actions, behavior, and in undertaking decisions. We also firmly believe that the core values play a vital role in the development of each child’s social consciousness, emotional development, and character building.
