When parents choose Community School, they join a community whose common beliefs drive our choices in everyday decision making and guide our methods of  teaching and learning.

Some values we have in common are:

• Process and not merely the end result is acknowledged and valued. Mistakes are recognized as a natural part of the learning process.
• We appreciate and expect children to grow at diverse individual rates academically, physically, emotionally and socially.
• Rich academic, social, and emotional growth is achieved through experiential learning in multi-age situations.
• We make conscious daily efforts to nurture mutual trust and sustain a non-competitive learning environment.
• Our cooperative work promotes a sense of responsibility to the community and to ourselves.
• Teachers and parents ultimately aim to build children's self-esteem, self-empowerment  and internal motivation without using external rewards.
• Our parents are actively and visibly involved.
