The OSA Way

The OSA Way: Value, Uplift, and Honor

Returning to campus after 16 months of remote learning presented many challenges. In response, our leadership team worked with stakeholders to articulate “The OSA Way.” This serves as a cornerstone for our school community and a daily reminder of our shared core values, which provide the foundation for the success of all of our students.

The OSA Way is based on the guiding principles on which the school was founded. We foster a positive and supportive school culture that allows creativity to thrive and our students to prosper.

I VALUE MYSELF My thoughts, choices, and actions demonstrate self-reflection, resilience, and a positive sense of self.

WE UPLIFT OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY We understand that our differences are our strength and we approach all of our interactions with truthfulness, kindness, humility, and compassion.

WE HONOR SPACE We are all active members of this community and aim to leave this space better than we found it. I commit to creating and protecting a safe collective environment which fosters care, pride, and empathy.
