The Early Learning Years establish a foundation for student success K to 12.
Every learner’s unique identity is valued and respected.
Indigenous ways of knowing and First Peoples Principles of Learning strengthen the educational experience.
Metal health, well-being, and a sense of belonging are essential to learn, share, and grow.
