Core Values
CMSA promotes six core values to guide its interactions with all members of the school community:
Respect – All members of the school community (students, parents, and staff) have equal worth and should be treated with respect.
Responsibility – All people have choices, and teachers, parents, and students should be responsible for their actions.
Integrity – Belonging to a community requires a commitment to the common good. The community is stronger when everyone can be counted upon to be honest and trustworthy.
Courage – Having the courage to try new things expands minds and causes students, parents, and staff to reach beyond their own expectations.
Curiosity – The ability to wonder and to create connections stimulates further learning. Inquiry will be fostered on the part of parents, staff, and students.
Effort – Success is accomplished when students, family, and staff are willing to do what it takes to accomplish their vision of the future.
