HIGH EXPECTATIONS
We believe that if we set high expectations for ourselves, our team, and our students, then we will achieve breakthrough results.
ENVISION'S CORE VALUES
TEAM
We believe that collegiality and collaboration create community and richer solutions and that only by working together can we fully achieve our mission.
EQUITY
We believe in examining our biases, removing the predictability of success that correlates with race and other aspects of identity, and creating inclusive environments.
PERSISTENCE
We believe that the path toward accomplishing our vision is challenging, so we innovate, honor our commitments, and never give up.
LEARNING
We believe in the power of learning and that by consistently examining both our successes and our failures we become smarter and stronger.
