Invested in the Individual

Know that each person within our community comes with a personality, a history, a set of preferences, goals, specific talents and potentials. Everybody doesn’t fit the same mold. We endeavor to find and reveal each individual’s best. 

• Recognizes each person as complex and nuanced.
• Provides appropriate content at an appropriate pace.
• Aligns learning to the individual’s abilities, interests, and goals.
• Values the whole spectrum of human diversity. 
• Gains collectively from different approaches, perspectives, and experiences and gain individually from the acceptance of your own differences. 
   

At THS, rather than trying to fit all people into one mold with the same result in mind, we endeavor instead to find and reveal each individual’s best self.  Often that revelation astonishes and delights us, as many times the revelation exceeds what we ourselves might have imagined.  We prioritize social and emotional health and development, not just because it is kind but also because people who are emotionally healthy learn and produce more.  And we recognize that we all benefit from a diversity of talents, approaches and interests both when working within heterogeneous teams and when considering our own strengths and weaknesses.
