OUR VALUES

Critical Thinking

We teach our students how to think, not what to think. We don’t shelter ourselves from alternative speech or ideas; we challenge ideas and get better at defending our own.

Risk Taking

Fortune favors the brave. We embrace discomfort so that history will not will not ignore us. As Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

Resourcefulness

Success isn’t determined by what you have, but by how you use what you have. Obstacles are just creative opportunities and adversity breeds community.

Solidarity

We are The Maples - one BIG family. The Maples community includes students, teachers and parents. It is our goal that we work together as a team to support our objectives.

Success

We take pride in the opportunities for success that our students have both academically and for social-emotional development. We celebrate the achievements of our graduates!

Responsibility

We take ownership of our successes and failures. We take initiative and earn everything we get. We don’t blame others for our shortcomings, and we never succumb to victimhood. There are no participation trophies.
