At Purpose Built Schools Atlanta, we believe meaningful change doesn’t happen by accident, it happens on purpose. That’s why, as part of our new five-year strategic plan, we’re proud to also unveil a set of updated core values that reflect who we are, what we believe, and how we will move forward together.
These five values – Wholeness, Excellence, Ownership, Learning, and Community – are more than just words. They are the foundation of our culture, the lens through which we make decisions, and the compass that guides our work. Each value aligns with the goals outlined in our strategic plan, reinforcing our commitment to student success, staff growth, and stronger school communities.
WHOLENESS
We engage the whole child and the whole employee on Purpose. Because we have an unwavering belief in the potential of every human being, we approach everyone holistically.
EXCELLENCE
We hold unapologetically high standards for ourselves, our students, and each other on Purpose.
OWNERSHIP
We proactively take initiative, prioritize action, and embrace responsibility for the overall outcomes on Purpose. We assume responsibility for the end results, not just our part.
LEARNING
We focus on cultivating a mindset that continuously challenges the status quo on Purpose. We realize growth is a daily pursuit, and adaptability is key, so we stay curious, open to feedback, and willing to evolve.
COMMUNITY
We believe our schools and communities are stronger when we work together on Purpose. By building bridges to our families and community members, we create a foundation of support, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
These new core values reflect the heart of our mission and the ambition of our strategic plan. As we move into this next chapter, we invite our students, staff, families, and partners to live these values with us. On purpose.
Together, we’re building a future where every child can thrive.
