OHLONE CORE VALUES
The foundation of the Ohlone alternative

• Trusting and respecting each individual
  Mutual respect, honesty and personal responsibility are key elements.
• Developmental approach
  Each student's curriculum acknowledges the uniqueness and developmental level of that individual.
• Growth and assessment
  An ongoing process of observation and feedback is utilized, designed to recognize individual growth and change.
• Meaningful, relevant curriculum
  Ohlone provides a "training ground for real life" so that each student becomes a self-directed, thinking, lifetime learner.
• Multi-dimensional learning
  Optimal learning focuses on the whole child: Social, emotional and academic development are of equal importance.
• Cooperation and collaboration
  Students of multiple ages work together on projects designed to help them share strengths, accept support & communicate ideas.
• Teacher-parent partnership
  Teachers and parents are partners who work together to support the students and school programs.
