Our Power Pillars & Core Values

Faculty & Staff Values

As a part of the Virtus Academy team, employees are expected to exhibit the following six core commitments at all times.

Teamwork; support for all Virtus colleagues
A “whatever it takes” mindset
Humility in professional relationships
Unimpeachable integrity
Servant leadership
A zeal toward one’s own professional development

Student Values

At our school, we use THRIVE to connect with our student core values.

THRIVE stands for:

T – Think First: making safe, smart choices

H – Helpfulness: Citizenship; lending a hand, being a good friend, and showing pride in our community

R – Respect: treating ourselves, others, and our school with kindness

I – Integrity: doing the right thing, even when no one is watching

V – Value Yourself – Perseverance: believing in yourself, working hard, and not giving up even when things are tough

E – Embody Kindness: showing care, empathy, and compassion in all we do

These values guide how we learn, play, and grow together. When students practice THRIVE at school, they become not only stronger learners but also caring and responsible citizens.

We believe in the spirited pursuit of excellence.
