OUR VALUES

Health, Opportunity, Prosperity, Edutainment

PLEDGE

Today I know I matter

My choices are mine and mine alone

If I am to succeed

I must take responsibility for my actions

I am more than you can see

I am the product of something divine

No one can put me down, unless I let them

Because today I know I matter

OATH OF OPTIMISM

Our Kids will NOT be...

victims of society,

casualties of systems or isms, underprivileged or over-challenged, because they will have the privilege of possessing the tools to control their own actions, environments, situations and outcomes.
