Shared values are an important element of the educational experience
of the Town School community. Town School for Boys has five core values
of equal weight and importance, all of which are necessary for educational
excellence.
We value academic excellence.
Within the context of an academically rigorous program, which also
includes physical and emotional development, the school supports
and encourages each student to fulfill his individual potential,
and discover his strengths and talents within his style of learning.
We value respect for ourselves
and for others.
The school encourages the highest level of self-respect and mutual
respectfulness by asking children and adults alike to develop and
display qualities such as honesty, integrity, fairness, acceptance
of responsibility for our actions, civility, courtesy, tolerance,
decency, and kindness.
We value a diverse and
inclusive school community.
We recognize that a diverse and inclusive school community best
reflects the world we live in and offers a learning environment
enriched by broader perspectives. We actively seek the involvement
and support of students, faculty, staff, families, and outside resources
to foster diversity and inclusiveness.
We value community involvement
and community service.
We seek age-appropriate, meaningful community service activities
for all of our students to enable them to be involved members of
their school and of the larger communities of the city, state, country,
and the world in which they live.
We value positive conduct that can be
modeled by others.
Because our actions affect those around us, we seek to model positive
conduct in our behavior toward each other.
