Education with values
Avante is committed to fostering global citizens through character development and ethical leadership.
We intentionally develop time in our daily schedule to focus on character development.
In preschool and elementary that time is during Morning Meeting and Closing Circle. In secondary school, students will participate in an advisory class that will be a primary place to develop, model and practice these values.
We implement CHARACTER COUNTS as a framework to teach the core values of:
- Responsibility
- Trustworthiness
- Fairness
- Caring
- Citizenship
- Respect
Avante Global School uses the philosophies and beliefs of Conscious Discipline as a positive behavioral intervention and support program. It gives examples of ideal and acceptable behaviors in different spaces throughout a school and is a way for teachers and students to bring Avante’s mission and values to life in our classrooms and day-to-day learning.
