Vision
ASA students will make the world a better place.
ASA’s core values
Respect - Caring for yourself, others and the world around you.
All ASA community members will treat each other with respect since actions showing disrespect are contrary to the spirit of ASA. All personal and school property will be respected.
Integrity - Choosing to stand up for what is right even when no one is looking.
All ASA community members will carry out their responsibilities with honesty and follow the Honor Code.
Excellence – Continually striving to do your personal best.
All ASA community members will strive for excellence in teaching, learning, and in our relationships.
Empathy – Be sensitive to others’ feelings and act kindly.
All ASA community members will build positive relationships with each other, using empathy to preserve the physical, social, and emotional dignity of others.
The two guiding principles below will help us achieve the goal of strengthening a learning community based on ASA’s Core Values:
Cooperation - All ASA community members must understand and agree to uphold the values of respect, integrity, excellence, and empathy. To that end, all rules and regulations will be followed to ensure an environment that is welcoming, safe, and where all community members feel like they belong.
Accountability - All ASA community members are responsible for their actions and will be held accountable for them through school-determined consequences. A positive learning environment must be preserved, and our core values must prevail.
