- We believe in these 6 Core Values of what makes The TesseracT School exceptional above the rest.
- Respect for the Individual
We recognize the uniqueness of each individual. We respect diversity and value the common experiences that bring us together. We believe intellectual and emotional growth are optimized when students are known by their teachers and classmates, feel appreciated for what they do well, and are encouraged to look beyond their own current achievements and perspectives.
- Dedication to Life Long Learning
At the core of our philosophy is educating students to lead lives of purpose and excellence. Development of individual talents, social responsibility, critical thinking, and problem solving skills allows TesseracT graduates to connect thoughts with actions, deeds with results, and the past to the present and the future. We do not teach for the test; we teach for a lifetime.
- A Nurturing Environment that Fosters Academic Excellence
The pursuit of academic excellence is accomplished in an environment where students feel safe and free and are encouraged to fully explore their interests and passions. An exciting, cooperative atmosphere characterizes teacher-student and student-student interactions throughout the learning process. Our dedication to a low student-teacher ratio and our commitment to individual goal setting and multiple teaching modalities allows our students to become engaged learners, to develop a strong sense of self-esteem and to meet their full potential.
- Parents in Support
Parents play a vital role in the life of the School, providing the encouragement and support for their child and contributing their time, energies, and financial support to events and programs critical to their child's development and the School's advancement.
- Teamwork
A collaborative environment allows TesseracT students to prepare themselves for their post-graduate years. An open dialogue among administrators, faculty, and parents models cooperative behavior. Shared teaching, interactive, challenging and integrated curricula, student team projects, and community service all help build the skills and framework necessary for students to apply their knowledge and ideas in a group setting. Students learn to work as a team and to constructively resolve conflicts, establishing a foundation for becoming caring, thoughtful, and more effective participants and leaders in our society.
- Focus on Faculty
We recruit and retain the finest faculty by providing the best possible environment to spark the faculty's passion for teaching and the love of learning in every child. Our educators are given the freedom to develop and share their expertise supported by professional development funding, and carefully structured planning and in-service time. Their commitment and dedication is balanced by the School's priority to provide highly competitive compensation and benefit programs.
