Core Values
Respect
We are a safe and inclusive school community where individuals are expected to respect themselves, each other, and their environment. Through personal relationships with diverse groups and individuals, students learn to understand themselves and others and work effectively as part of a team.
Compassion
We believe that the development of compassion - and the desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others - is essential to being a productive member of a community. Through the study of multiple viewpoints and the act of service, students develop empathy for those around them.
Integrity
We encourage all members of its community to hold themselves to the highest code of conduct. Led by a commitment to the common good, we strive to do what is right - even when nobody is looking.
Self-Discipline
Hard work and self-discipline are essential components for success. We challenge students to develop a strong work ethic and the internal motivation to persevere through times of challenge.
Intellectual Curiosity
Marshall encourages students' natural inquisitiveness and wonder about the world. Asking questions and taking risks is as important as searching for the right answer. With the desire and courage to move confidently into the future, students can adapt to an ever-changing future in pursuit of their dreams.
Strong Academic Habits
We are dedicated to teaching academic habits which will sustain lifelong learning in students. Learning how to learn - whether it be taking notes, studying, or writing -prepares students for success in college and in life. Our teachers nurture confident and critical thinkers who have mastered academic skills and competencies across a variety of disciplines.
