Shared Values

Shared values are at the heart of who we want to be. Three particular values guide our work as an organization: Justice. Integrity. Fun.

Justice gives to each person what he or she deserves and what is appropriate. Justice requires doing all in our power to ensure that every Imagine student has access to an outstanding education. Driven by the unique abilities and needs of each student, Imagine educators design instruction to equip all students to become successful learners. We align goals for each student and adult in our schools with what they need and deserve.

Integrity means wholeness, or how things fit together. Integrity drives us to live and model consistent ethics inside and outside the school. Integrity requires responsibility and accountability. It means every aspect of what and how we teach is done with rigor and fidelity and how we treat others is done with dignity and respect. We hold ourselves individually and collectively accountable for strong academic and character outcomes, with each individual fulfilling his or her responsibility so that all adults and students can be successful parts of the whole school community.

Fun means cultivating a Joy at Work environment in every school we operate. In our schools, every voice matters, and each person has the freedom and opportunity to use his or her unique talents, experiences, and abilities to make important decisions contributing to the success of the school. Joy at Work blends integrity and justice with accountability in decision-making to achieve outstanding results for students and families.
