The Five Values of Respect

When Anton Bruckner International School was first established in 2008, faculty members and students reflected together about what kind of school they wanted. They decided that the last place they wanted to be was in a school with a “don’t” culture — as in, “don’t do this” and “you are not allowed to do that”. These community members wanted a school embedded with a culture of positive language and values so they outlined the Five Values of Respect

Respect for Self and Others
Respect for Learning
Respect for the Planet and its Environment
Respect for Leadership
Respect for Other Cultures and Languages
