Trustworthiness: We will always deliver what we promise, and we will never promise something we can't do. We know that trust is the most important aspect of our work. We are committed to doing the right thing, every time.

Resilience: We recognize that the challenge of educational inequality is significant, and we will take sustained effort to achieve our goals.
