- A culture that deeply values student and staff voice
- A culture that supports innovation and risk-taking
- A culture in which teachers are encouraged to grow and to explore areas of professional interest (the school sets aside a sizable amount of money for professional development and provides practical support for teachers to develop their pedagogy).
