Our Core Values

List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • Take care of ourselves and others

    We know that to truly succeed we must feel safe and supported in all aspects of our lives. We prioritize our collective well-being and take responsibility for our actions and the impact they have on others.

  • Explore many paths

    We encourage ourselves to try a variety of experiences, discover new ways to answer old questions, and find our unique passions along our journey of lifelong learning.

  • Meet the challenge

    Education teaches us how to think, not what to think. We lean on our supportive environment to push ourselves to the next level, demonstrating resilience and curiosity when the answers aren’t obvious.

  • Create inclusion and belonging

    Learning from the perspectives of others opens our minds and hearts. We build empathy by showing respect and interest in others’ unique contributions.

  • Be part of something bigger

    As Bulldogs, we show up for one another to create a positive shared experience. Together, we contribute to an interconnected world.
