Core Values

The core values of the Wardlaw-Hartridge school community are:

• Integrity – our bedrock value, sine qua non

• Opportunity – Wardlaw-Hartridge develops academic and intellectual excellence in its students through programs that stretch their creative imaginations, develop their athletic and artistic skills, engage their sense of discovery, and develop a social conscience. In the process, students take on leadership roles and learn how to work effectively in teams.

• Support – Every member of the Wardlaw-Hartridge faculty believes in a personal approach to educating and developing the whole child. Wardlaw-Hartridge educators take the time, care, and interest in each student to call forth his or her best work.

• Diversity – The diversity of thought, background, and culture at Wardlaw-Hartridge distinguishes us among independent schools, strengthens the global orientation of our curriculum, and enriches the daily experience of every member of the school community, inside and outside the classroom.

• Community – When faculty members, students, parents, or graduates walk through the doors of Wardlaw-Hartridge, they have entered a home. Our community is distinguished by an ethos of care and mutual respect, and a strong partnership with families.
