Our Core Values
Respect
All beings (human, animal and inanimate) deserve respect. We believe respect lies at the core of all healthy relationships and we promote respectful interactions and communication between our environment, our community, our staff, our students and their families.
Interdependence
Nature is a web of interdependent interactions and collaborations and it is pressing that we humans have a deep understanding of this web, so we can live in harmony.
Autonomy
The ability to make decisions about one’s own life is a fundamental human need that exists for people of all ages and abilities. In offering our students autonomy, we are encouraging them to come to know their authentic selves and fostering internal motivation for learning and growth.
Sustainability
We are optimistic that through the teaching and modeling of regenerative living, the next generation can use their skills and knowledge to live in sustainable harmony with the natural world.
Compassion
Our world is desperate for compassion. In order to resolve society’s greatest problems, we need to work side by side with others. Teamwork necessitates compassion and empathy, as humans learn to see the world from other perspectives and understand that we are all connected.
Resilience
Resilience is the ability to adapt to challenges and adversity. At Quintral, we allow students the space needed to face and overcome challenges, no matter how impossible, daunting or time-consuming they might at first appear.
