Our Values

Support students,
provide educational training.

Students Come First

Students are our priority—their success is our success. Our research-backed approach helps them gain confidence and independence.

Praise the Process

The process is more important than the product. If we take two steps forward and one step back, that’s ok.

Lead with Empathy

You learn differently? We get it. Our job is to support you. We don’t make assumptions, we’re just here to help.

Relationships Matter

Our mentorship program and our community are built on relationships. The stronger the relationships, the more we can help each other succeed.

Accountability

Accountability is necessary to make positive changes in any capacity. We hold students accountable, but we hold ourselves accountable as well.

Always Learning, Always Growing

We think it’s key for students, families, and employees to have this mindset—there’s always more to learn.
