We
are committed to educating our students by using an anti-bias, multicultural
approach in a safe and stimulating environment. We help all students to learn, to understand and honor diversity,
to respect and care for themselves and others, to be responsible, and to
achieve a high level of academic excellence.
By eliminating the achievement gap, all students will meet or exceed
standards, including those students historically underserved by the public
school system.
We are creating a school that
empowers students to be active participants, leaders, learners, and contributors to social justice.
