Creative Minds celebrates and embraces individuality while fostering a strong and compassionate community. Throughout the school day and beyond, we create diverse opportunities for students to explore and pursue their unique interests and talents.

The heart of our school is experienced through Community Meetings. It’s a special time when we share our learning experiences, honor our international connections, and align ourselves with our personal goals of being respectful, adaptable, thinkers, resilient, communicators, ethical, collaborative, and empathetic.
