Our Beliefs
As an independent school, we have a clear and distinct perspective on what learning should be at its best. This perspective has been further defined through our belief statements. It all starts with the fact that we see ourselves as a learning community rather than a school and continues from there. As members of the CA Learning Community, we believe:
- Learning is an iterative and interdependent process.
- Taking risks, embracing struggle, and developing resilience are essential to deep and life-long learning.
- Individuals must develop self-awareness as learners and take ownership of their learning.
- Clear, ongoing, and timely feedback elicits self-reflection and drives growth.
- Physical, social, and emotional balance is essential for learning and well-being.
- The most impactful learning occurs when people, disciplines, and ideas connect to address human and community needs.
- Inclusive environments create a secure and affirming culture that enables both the individual and the community to flourish.
- Excellent teaching is the foundation of an outstanding learning community.
