CORE OPERATING PRINCIPLES
These Core Operating Principles have been adopted by St. Martin’s Episcopal School, and they drive our decisions at every level from daily operations to strategic planning.
1. An intellectually rigorous academic environment
2. The intentional integration of faith and learning
3. A community-based approach to learning
4. A collaborative philosophy which focuses on personal relationships, not power of authority
5. A balanced preparation for life
6. An emphasis on life-long learning
7. Student-led servant leadership

In 2009, the St. Martin's Board of Trustees adopted a set of seven Core Operating Principles, which serve as the foundation for the school's vision, mission and strategic plan. Our Core Operating Principles are as follows:

*An intellectually rigorous academic environment
*The intentional integration of faith and learning
*A community-based approach to learning
*A collaborative philosophy which focuses on personal relationships, not power of authority
*A balanced preparation for life
*An emphasis on life-long learning
*Student-led servant leadership

This is the first in a series of seven articles, all to be published this semester, each of which will explore an individual Core Operating Principle. Within the discussion of each Core Operating Principle are specific examples (called "What that means") of the ways in which that principle will be carried out at our school.
