Mission In Action

Our Mission

We teach our students to think critically and creatively, to develop joyful curiosity, to embrace challenge and apply their knowledge with confidence, and to thrive within a community rich with diverse perspectives and talents.

Learn How We Achieve Our Mission for Students.

Whether you're a long-time Tower family or one just beginning conversations with our admission team, we want you to be familiar with our school's mission and the curriculum we develop to achieve this mission for students.

Mission in Action serves as a pedagogical hub with our mission in the center. Each of our eight tenets indicates, in broad strokes, how we achieve our mission for students. The hub is supported by pages that dig deeper, define terms or provide curricular examples of students' day to day learning.
