Administration

We’re Accountable.

We take full ownership of our work and contributions. We hold ourselves, and one another, to transparent standards of accountability. We don’t make excuses, pass the buck, procrastinate or fear failure. We reset expectations and contribute generously to amazing work. Investing in a culture of personal responsibility respects one another’s time, integrity and energy.

Big ideas happen when sincere professionals are loyal to high expectations and accountable to worthy missions.

We’re Active Listeners.

Acting with integrity begins with devoting our full attention to hearing one another. By quieting our own minds, limiting distractions and assuming the best of one another we cultivate trust and acceptance. Because true communication cannot be rushed, we patiently work through disagreements and skillfully manage difficult situations. We express our views directly and authentically.

Doing the right thing begins with listening.

We’re Collaborative.

Cooperation, interdependence and shared decision making are key to our collective strength and mutual success. Tapping the unique expertise of our internal teams as well as the brain trust of our partners advantages measurable outcomes. Meaningful involvement, best practices and diverse insights inform our decision making, elevate our awareness and deepen our value.

We aren’t afraid to put our knowledge on the line, voice new ideas and prove our worth.

We’re Experts.

We are humble experts and specialists. We are open, confident, curious and invested. We connect ideas. Our ability to think, rethink, learn and unlearn prepares us to confront challenges that defy simple solutions for a living. Our depth of know-how uniquely qualifies us to identify critical needs, gaps and emerging trends in education.

We bring our expertise to every student, every partner and every colleague, every day.

We’re Extraordinary.

We look beyond typical ways to educate our extraordinary students. We rise together to form an inclusive community that encourages students to participate, prosper, and reach full potential. We embrace differences and forge common bonds. Each student in our organization has an inalienable right to belong, flourish and achieve their dreams. We embrace each learner’s diversity, rejecting the idea that our students can be constrained by any label.

We’re exceptional at unleashing the promise of uniquely gifted students who represent a breadth of interests, strengths, talents, abilities, and personalities.

We’re Leaders.

We’re not preoccupied with rank or titles; we’re all leaders. We are invested, visible and prepared. We’re persistent, resilient and courageous experts who work to our strengths for the greater good. We’re focused on outcomes, progress and excellence. Collectively, we have all the motivation, experience and competency needed to transform our world. The potential exists. We intend to lead it.

The high call of our leadership is to unlock the potential of others.

We’re Opportunity Makers.

When you meet us, you are meeting the right people in the right place at the right time. We’re the first to raise our hands, step forward and challenge the possibilities. Where others see limitations, we see potential. We give ourselves permission to stretch beyond good enough solutions, easy answers, and quick fixes that fail. We invest personally, believe more, think deeper, try harder, and persist longer. We measure challenges and success by what we can do, not by the barriers that stand in our way. We aim high, give big, and pivot fast. We are different. We think and act beyond the ordinary.

We choose to do amazing work. We change lives.
