OUR MOTTO
“No Box” Our Design Anchors We distill what matters most in everything we design in our school, ensuring that the totality of the vision is coherent, and preparing for others to build/execute off this design. Design anchors are words and phrases that serve as guardrails for our design. Memorable recipes that will help keep further iterations consistent and aligned to our outcomes and the insights for how to get there. Love, first. We lead with love and radical joy Rooted Right Here We design with empathy and community, embracing and learning from our history, people, and legacy. Everyone Owns Everything Many hats, many roles, many talents, many gifts-- we leverage our collective power. There is No Normal We operate in wholeness and possibility. Design is Our Activism What is designed can be redesigned for equity. |
