respect, and shared pursuit of knowledge. At the center of this philosophy are two fundamental beliefs:
each student's inherent ability to learn and education as empowerment, preparing learners to think
critically and apply knowledge to practical problems.
- Teachers commit to teaching with integrity, flexibility, and diversity, creating classrooms where error is
opportunity and varied needs are addressed through differentiation.
A shared vision puts courage, collaboration, and diversity first. Students and teachers alike share
challenges—like gaps in resources or biases in society—by championing equity and peer-led learning.
Classrooms become spaces where diverse viewpoints deepen understanding, and vulnerability (like
admitting to not knowing) is honored as part of the learning process.
Ultimately, the creed moves beyond book learning, building character and community. As Rita Pierson
encouraged, educators serve as advocates for students, while John Dewey's insistence that "education is
life itself" speaks to the creed's mission: to spark lifelong learning, perseverance, and a shared culture of
growth and respect illuminating the path forward.
