* To guide students towards intellectual, artistic, physical, technological, and social competence.
* To spark passion. We want children to become deeply and personally involved in their work, to feel not only accountable, but engaged.
* To cultivate depth of character. We want students to develop empathy, imagination, and moral courage, ethical values, a sense of humility and a habit of service.
* To help students gain self-knowledge to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses within a supportive environment that fosters open and realistic communication.
* To foster a sense of community. Accordingly, we strive to create a rich public life in the school, where students learn to express their opinions effectively and responsibly, and to consider respectfully the opinions of others.
