We will prepare students to love learning, have outstanding character, and take responsibility for themselves and others through a culturally responsive, single-sex educational environment that emphasizes quality academic content, character development, community involvement and student leadership.
There are three shared values that guide our work:
Integrity
Integrity means wholeness and this drives us to live the same values outside the schoolhouse as we do inside. It requires us to give the same priority to the stewardship of resources as we do to the development of virtuous characters and the attainment of academic success. Of course, it also means living up to our commitments to students, parents, and the local community. Integrity requires freedom mixed with responsibility and accountability.
Justice
Justice means to each person what he or she deserves and to each person what is appropriate. Since each student, employee, parent, and organization with whom we interact is unique, each must receive special treatment. Justice does not mean sameness or equality, but that everyone is treated uniquely and appropriately.
Fun
Imagine Schools strives to create the most fun and successful schools possible. The fun value requires extraordinary decentralization of decision-making to teachers, staff, and students to create a joy-filled school. The key to a fulfilling and enjoyable school is creating an environment where all the stakeholders participate in educational, economic and administrative decisions and take responsibility for the results.
