Life-Long Guidelines

 

The following guidelines are needed for any meaningful relationship to flourish:


  • Truthfulness, Trustworthiness, Absence of Threat/Nurturing Environment, 

      Active Listening, and Personal Best 

 

Personal Best is further defined by the Lifeskills listed below.

 

The emphasis on supporting these skills and guidelines are year-long. Rather than a specific curricular focus for a short period of time, these skills are processed and applied to all we do. This helps to build a supportive environment where students feel safe and willing to share and take risks academically. Building self-confidence and courage is one of our primary goals. Students are making a special choice joining one of the SLV Charter programs. It takes courage on their part and support from all of us to nurture that decision into the strength it shows later in life. We are very proud of the accomplishments our students have made.
