Vessels Core Values

Every great organization has core values or beliefs that drive its successes and focus on excellence. At Vessels, we have developed core values that center the team on student success and remind us of what we hold dear. Below is a list of our core values:

  • We value our students, encourage their academic and social development, and reward positive performance in and out of the classroom.
  • We develop the strengths and talents of our students so that they will grow to be passionate about learning and life.
  • We take risks and see mistakes as opportunities to grow! We find joy in our work and help others to do the same.
  • We develop positive, meaningful relationships with our students, parents, and colleagues to best support the learning community's needs.
  • We work together across grade levels and continuously adapt instruction to meet the needs of all learners in our classroom.
  • We value diversity and inclusivity in all that we do!
