Students who study academics without also building character is like producing a car without an engine—on the surface it appears to have everything it needs to move forward, but will stop far short of its destination.
We pair our academics with a focused character program designed to strengthen the grit and resolve our scholars need to move forward and chart their own course.
Our REACH values—Respect, Excellence, Authenticity, Curiosity, Hard work—are infused in everything we do at Atlas, from the classroom to the field. It’s these kinds of skills that move our scholars beyond their success at Atlas and into achievement in the real world.
At Atlas, health education looks different because we know that academic knowledge isn’t the only factor in having a healthy life. Our scholars improve their character through “paychecks” earned for positive behavior that they can spend on rewards. Social, emotional, and health support from Character Rooms is available to every student. School counselors provide support, and our Character Team provides education on relevant topics.
Successful people give back to their community, but at Atlas, we don’t think success happens only in the future. We start now. Every Atlas student does a week-long community service project each quarter. Focusing on the world around us from the beginning gives every student a better perspective.
Pairing our character program with rigorous academics and community support pushes beyond other traditional education programs. Click on any of our foundational pillars to see how it all fits together.
