Core Values
Respect - Integrity - Service - Excellence - Responsibility
The Out-of-Door Academy strives to build a community of honesty, decency and trust. Our core values are the foundation of our school community.
The school’s core values of respect, integrity, service, excellence and responsibility are infused into The Out-of-Door Academy through proactive instruction,
timely intervention, and focused reflection. All members of the school are stewards of the school’s inclusive community, and in this role, they actively exhibit, promote, and intervene to support the school’s values.
Beyond the core values, all components of the program foster, promote, and celebrate the character traits of persistence, effort, and grit.
