At McKenzie School, we believe that school is a place where:

• Everyone is considered a learner
• All learners are encouraged to have high expectations and strive to attain them
• Learners are valued, nourished and recognized as individuals with unique abilities, interests and needs
• Parents are welcome to participate and support their children’s learning
• Children develop a sense of themselves as global citizens with a growing understanding of human rights, responsibilities, heritage and potential
• Mutual respect is fostered
• Children should have a rich variety of cultural, artistic, physical and intellectual experiences supported by adequate, appropriate resources
• Children feel safe, both personally and intellectually, in a orderly environment
• Staff members are mutually supportive and work collaboratively
• Staff members model learning through their own personal and professional growth
