Civitas aspires to support and develop schools that are beacons of the community, where everyone belongs, achieves, and serves.

Our ultimate mission is to prepare graduates who become agents of change.

These principles guide our work as we pursue our vision and mission relentlessly:

• We commit to academic and personal excellence.

• We succeed through equity and access.

• We engage in evidence-based practices.

• We prioritize civic engagement.

JOYFUL PROBLEM SOLVERS

Graduates are able to build deep relationships that help them create through collaboration. They are eager to solve complex problems and are familiar with the tools and frameworks associated with human-centered design and recognize that real-world trial and error is a faster route to progress than siloed conversation.

IDENTITY AFFIRMED

Graduates are comfortable with who they are, self-aware, and socially confident. They interrogate their own stories, operate with an equity-first lens, and build empathy with people across lines of difference.

NAVIGATORS OF A CHANGING WORLD

Graduates are curious knowledge and skill seekers that continually scan and make sense of the world around them. They develop habits around goal-setting, planning, doing, and reflection that result in ambitious short and long-term plans for education and work that they are uniquely suited to pursue.

CHANGEMAKERS

Graduates grapple with the complexities of history, make connections to current events, and reflect on the choices they confront today. They develop how they can make a difference with nuanced and effective solutions to local and global challenges.
