What We Believe

We value childhood as a distinct stage of life marked by a compelling drive to learn and persevere. We believe that children

• are naturally curious.
• deserve understanding and respect.
• learn and mature in different ways and at different paces.
• should be empowered to take risks, reflect, and try again.

We value a diverse community of belonging as essential to growth and learning.  At High Meadows, we

• respect and appreciate the multi-dimensional identities of individuals who make up our community.
• seek and support belonging and significance in our journey to understand ourselves and others.
• commit to open communication and constructive dialogue.
• purposefully cultivate respectful relationships among all members of the community.

We value our campus and its historical significance as a starting point from which to explore and understand the world and our responsibility in its future. At High Meadows, we

• engage with the natural environment consciously, respectfully, and purposefully.
• inspire students to appreciate and inhabit the earth responsibly.
• utilize the outdoors to benefit mental and physical wellbeing.
• act as compassionate stewards of our interconnected world.
