Core Values

At Union School, we develop civic engagement based on the following core values:

  • Integrity – Living in alignment with one’s values, demonstrating consistency between words and actions, and upholding the highest standards of honesty and fairness in all situations.
  • Honesty – Acting with personal honor and dignity, promoting social well-being. An honest person does the right thing in the right way without cutting corners.
  • Responsibility – The ability to discern right from wrong and to make reliable, trustworthy decisions based upon that knowledge.
  • Courage – The strength to make independent decisions and stand up for what is right. Courageous individuals defend those who are oppressed and resist injustice and peer pressure.
  • Empathy – The ability to put oneself in another’s place in order to better understand their perspective and experience.
  • Respect – The capacity to value others, honor differences, and demonstrate esteem for individuals and the community.

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.
