suzuki values

The Suzuki values are important to each providing the best for each child, family and teacher at the school. We take these values very seriously.

1. The children are our first priority: We value each child and the family which has placed trust in us. We continually work to strengthen the bond we form with the child and the family.

2. We teach with high-impact collaborative teaching teams: We value teams which recognize the whole as more effective than the sum of its parts. We value the active, positive supportof team members, recognizing that this support is fundamental to the success of each team.

3. We develop genuine teachers: We value teachers who have an enthusiasm for learnign - for the teaching of both children and families and for the teaching of each other.

4. We prize accountability and results: We value employees who hold themselves accountable to the children, to the parents and to each other. We value those who are able to obtain intrinsic enjoyment out of results and achievement.

5. We believe in lifelong learning: We value the continuous process of both personal and academic growth, for ourselves and for our children, and recognize that learning means experimentation, innovation and sometimes, failure.

6. We esteem a proper attitude: We value professionals who are able to see the glass as half full rather than half empty, and who operate with an “esprit de corps.” We value the spirit of unconditional giving of oneself.

7. We relate with communication and respect: We value respectful, effective and honest dialogue which requires an ability to listen closely to each other. In addition, we recognize that integrity in communications and in actions are fundamental to our Suzuki heart.
