Core Beliefs

PRIDE Academy Charter School is built upon the following core beliefs:

Students of all abilities will thrive in a peaceful learning community that values respect, integrity, determination, and empathy for others.
Within all students lies the power to shape their own future by making positive choices today.
By serving individual academic needs through a cohesive skill-centered curriculum, untapped student potential will be realized.
Through critical examination and active response to challenges facing our community, students are best able to comprehend the interconnectedness of life and the power of the individual.
By deliberately honoring accomplishments while continuously setting new challenges, students gain the courage, confidence, and competencies needed to take academic and leadership risks.
Adults teach students with their actions. All members of our school community --administration, faculty, and parents -- must live and embody the values that the school seeks to instill in its students.
A culture which prizes goal-setting, positive choices, and perseverance will equip students with the skills and mindset needed to seize future educational opportunities.
By questioning, seeking, understanding, and responding, all members of our school community will be active participants in the lifelong learning cycle essential for growth.
