1. in honoring and developing the whole child, preparing them both intellectually and emotionally to be successful and autonomous in a diverse and global society; 2. that goal setting and reflection require students to carefully self-examine their skills and knowledge, preparing them to become their best selves and achieve their fullest potential; 3. students should be taught communication, research, problem-solving, thinking and self-management skills that are transferable across subject areas and situational contexts; 4. that children learn to value dignity and the worth of others by engaging in dialogue and collaboration.
