Where creative thinking, collaboration and community come together
Mission
Creativity Challenge Community (C3) fosters a learning environment that empowers students to think creatively, to solve problems, to learn in collaboration with local artistic, scientific and cultural partners, and to challenge and care for each other to our highest potential as leaders and learners. We emphasize independent learning in a collaborative setting to develop kind, courageous thinkers.
Vision
Students, families, caregivers, educators, and all community partners work together to create a strong culture of kind, courageous thinkers. At Creativity Challenge Community (C3), every member of the community takes responsibility for their learning and contributes to the learning of others. We embody compassion to ourselves, to others, and advocate for our community. We think creatively, achieve at high levels, and embrace challenges. Our collaborative community is committed to culturally responsive practices and restorative approaches, ensuring all students are seen, heard and celebrated.
