At Union School, we believe that a positive approach to discipline is rooted in the development of responsible behaviors. These behaviors are guided by our core values:
Integrity – the foundation of character. It reflects a commitment to doing what is right, even when no one is watching, and aligns actions with moral and ethical principles.
Honesty – reflects personal honor and dignity and promotes the well-being of the community. An honest person is genuine and earns the trust and respect of others
Responsibility – the ability to distinguish right from wrong and to make dependable, thoughtful decisions based on that understanding.
Courage – the strength to make independent decisions and stand up for what is right, even in the face of difficulty, pressure, or opposition.
Empathy – the ability to understand and share the feelings of others by placing yourself in their situation.
Respect – the ability to show consideration, appreciation, and honor toward oneself, others, and the community.
Self-discipline – the ability to control one’s actions, stay focused, and consistently make positive choices.
Fairness – the ability to act with impartiality, honesty, and justice, free from bias or favoritism.
Perseverance – the ability to remain committed to a goal and continue working despite challenges, obstacles, or setbacks
Throughout the school year, Union School organizes activities that intentionally nurture, celebrate, and strengthen these core values, ensuring they remain at the heart of our students’ growth and character development.
