Mission and Values
The Presentation School Mission.
At The Presentation School, we cultivate curious LEARNers by blending academic excellence with personal growth. Our values of LOVE, service, community, and integrity guide us in nurturing empathetic LEADers, preparing students to face the future with courage and capability.
What makes Sonoma's Only Independent School Unique?
The Presentation School is an intentional community devoted to the growth and welfare of young people. We all work towards understanding and embodying the values that form the philosophical foundation for our school through our understanding of the mission’s entreaty to LOVE, LEARN, and LEAD.
Love
We develop young people with a strong sense of self and who embody a courageous understanding of their capability. Presentation students possess self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and actively demonstrate gratitude for their education and community. We strive to create kind graduates who embody our value to love by:
Spreading peace
Offering service
Practicing empathy
Learn
We help young people blossom into critical and creative thinkers, strong and effective communication as public speakers, and innovative and collaborative problem-solvers. We strive to create graduates who embody our value to learn by:
Respecting others with curiosity rather than judgement
Pursuing knowledge to spread justice
Believing that their learning brings hope to themselves and others to improve
Lead
We cultivate young people who are capable of reflecting our mission and values by blending their academic knowledge with a courageously empathetic understanding of others to lead in improving our local communities and the world. We strive to create graduates who are capable of leading by:
Showing gratitude for their education and community
Acting with courage in the face of adversity and injustice
Spreading love to all humankind
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision Statement
The Presentation School strives to embody each of the values of LOVE, LEARN and LEAD by cultivating a school culture that is welcoming and accessible to families of all backgrounds and authentically reflects the wide range of experiences of our local community. In doing so we commit to exploring, better understanding and acting upon elements that affect our community, including promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
This year, our Student Belonging Group is focused on the theme of EMPATHY.
