Our Mission
Bold’s mission is to build world-class K-12 public schools that challenge and empower all students to excel in college and life. By developing intellectual mastery and empowering habits, students graduate accomplished both academically and personally, prepared to lead self-determined and purposeful lives.
We benchmark ourselves against indicators proven to predict success in college and beyond, and set rigorous standards for academic and personal development to ensure our students are ready to compete and succeed at the highest level.
Our Values
Our shared values drive a culture of excellence, ownership, and care. As a community, we recognize our responsibility to live our values and create a culture in which everyone insists on excellence, improves quickly, cares deeply, and owns their impact as we prepare every student to succeed at the highest levels in college and life.
We insist on the highest standards because we believe everyone is capable of greatness. We set ambitious goals that push us to think differently and stretch us beyond what might seem possible. We are highly detail-oriented and communicate excellence without saying a word. We have an excellence reflex to fix things that aren’t right and improve things that could be better.
We have the power to achieve our goals and take full responsibility for our actions and impact. We do what we say we will do, and exude calm and focused urgency. We take full ownership for Bold’s success, reflect constantly on how to get better, and deliver solutions. Our daily efforts have a positive impact and we get the most we can out of a day.
We care deeply about each other – our team, students, and families – which means we hold each other to the highest standards and are candid about ways we can improve. We seek to be the best teammates we can be and always assume the best in one another. We use our words purposefully and constructively, and are aware of their impact. We build trust by being vulnerable and compassionate, and we win and learn as a team.
We are excellent because we learn quickly and eagerly. We are always asking ourselves and others what we can do better, and believe that candor and feedback are critical to improvement. We use data to always know where things stand, and take quick action to address root causes and drive improvement. We are flexible and adaptable to drive progress and seek to improve everything we touch.
