Our Values

Set the bar higher

Children can achieve more than they have commonly been told. With hard work, dedication, and the support of teachers and parents, third graders can think critically, sixth graders can learn physics and high school students can read critical theory and philosophy.

Use time wisely

Instructional time is precious. Every minute of every class should be meaningful.

Build strong foundations

Mastering the basics is the precondition for going beyond them. If students are to learn to listen for Shakespeare’s iambic pentameter and decipher crucial details in a historical primary source, they must first be able to parse the grammar of a sentence and craft concise and persuasive prose.

Practice is productive

Homework—as long as it is an extension of what is being learned in the classroom—is valuable. Practice helps students achieve mastery.

Performance matters

High-stakes, summative tests that assess content mastery and learning skills (for example, BASIS Curriculum Comprehensive Exams and the College Board Advanced Placement Exams) are foundational for learning.

Measure thoughtfully

The evaluation of teacher performance must be based both on classroom instruction and on students’ results from high-stakes assessments.
