We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve.

• We remember and honor the legacy of friendship between the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur co-foundresses Julie Billiart and Francoise Blin de Bourdon, and we foster a spirit of friendship as foundational to our learning community relationships.
• We value and implement community-building activities, both social and spiritual, between and among all members of our learning community.
• We design and foster collaborative processes wherever possible; we ground decision-making in active participation and the principle of subsidiarity.
• We create interactive and collaborative educational experiences.
• We create an atmosphere of open and direct communication.
