The Aveson Promise: Our Mission

Aveson Schools inspire students to reach for their personal best, to uncover their unique potential, and to become successful, independent learners who are ready to engage as global learners.

The Aveson Way: Our Values

Since Aveson Schools opened in 2007, our Guiding Principles have been the cool kids’ guide to building a vibrant community where educators, students, and families learn and grow together. These principles are woven into our mission and come alive in every classroom as they guide us toward a transformative education that nurtures the whole child:

  • Integrity is everything.

  • There is no such thing as too much truth.

  • When identifying problems, offer strategies and solutions.

  • Your commitment is to make others around you successful.

  • Vision means seeing what could be and what will be and living the difference.

  • How you say it is as important as what you say.

  • Everyone’s time is valuable.

  • Our growth together requires us to grow individually.

From these principles, The Aveson Way emerged—a set of eight learner traits: appreciate, empathize, persevere, reflect, explore, know, imagine, and shine. These traits are not buzzwords! They are the natural outcome of our holistic model, where passion projects, experiential learning, and an inclusive school culture prepare students to go boldly in the direction of their dreams with courage, curiosity and compassion. 

Welcome to learning reimagined. 

Welcome to The Aveson Way.

The Aveson Way: Our Values

  • APPRECIATE

    We’re more about radical acceptance than polite nodding at different perspectives. Our unique qualities take center stage as we work together to expand our worldview and celebrate our diversity. 

  • Empathize

    We dig deep into our feelings to understand how they impact our learning and our community. Knowing ourselves well helps us to step into another's shoes so we can kick injustice to the curb together.

  • PERSEVERE

    Our students tackle challenges with the courage of a superhero and the curiosity of a toddler. And offering help? That's just how we roll. After all, we didn’t rise from the ashes just to back down when things get tough.

  • REFLECT

    Reflection helps us level-up! Asking questions of ourselves and working to improve keeps us moving forward on this wild journey of learning and growing.

  • EXPLORE

    Questions are our best friends. We're not afraid to peek under the hood of our own biases or investigate ideas (and the world!) like intellectual detectives.

  • KNOW

    Pursuing knowledge and truth is our way of staying humble and hungry. There's always more to learn, and we're here for it.

  • IMAGINE

    Inventiveness is our love language. We try new things and create new spaces where everyone feels like a VIP: Valued, Important, Powerful.

  • SHINE

    Even the most introverted among us can sparkle with confidence. We uplift voices, celebrate perspectives, and encourage the authentic YOU to shine.
