Portrait of a Student

We believe in the incredible potential of every student, focusing on the day-to-day choices that shape who they are and inspire who they'll become.

Most schools share their Portrait of a Graduate, a set of traits or ideals that they believe their students should have upon graduating. We do things differently. We focus on the process and the journey that each student embarks on, from grades JK through 12. To that point, our guiding focus is called Portrait of a Student.

SELF-DIRECTED LEARNERS

Flint Hill students are self-directed learners who are curious, adaptable, resilient, and seek balance in all that they do. They demonstrate initiative in their learning through joyful exploration and discovery and are willing to take risks.

PROBLEM SOLVERS

Flint Hill students are problem solvers who apply analytical and creative thinking skills to all aspects of their formal and informal learning. They are innovative and reflective and approach problems both independently and collaboratively.

LEADERS

Flint Hill students are leaders who motivate, inspire, and model positive participation. They listen actively, collaborate, and strive to bring out the best in themselves and others while serving the needs of the local and global communities.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS 

Flint Hill students are effective communicators who express and interpret oral, written, and visual information clearly and deliberately. They consider both the intent and the impact of words and actions and modify their approaches for specific audiences and outcomes.

ETHICAL CITIZENS

Flint Hill students are ethical citizens who embody the values of respect and value all equally, lead and support with compassion, act with integrity, imagine what’s possible, and blaze the trail. Recognizing their roles as global citizens, they approach the world with appreciation, empathy, and optimism and actively embrace diverse cultures, identities, experiences, and ideas.
