Student Voice Matters
“At Alcott, students understand their voice is actually valued. Because when they speak, something happens. Sometimes they don’t know how much power they have because they haven’t been listened to in the past. But at Alcott, we listen.”
— Matt Barrow, Alcott teacher

Alcott Believes In...
Challenge & Growth
We believe in challenging our students, and that educational progress is best measured by growth.
Wisdom
We help students ask the right questions, then teach them to apply their judgement.
"Whole Student"
We believe in focusing on intellectual, social, emotional, and character development.
Collaboration
We believe in working together with students, teachers, parents, and community partners.
Engagement
We set high expectations. Students explore, take risks, and make mistakes—and learn as a result.
Community
We want our students to feel a sense of acceptance, support, and belonging—as well as responsibility.
The Alcott Experience
Opportunity | Diversity | Community
“Students collaborate so well at Alcott. There’s a beautiful fabric of complexity and diversity that’s here. They’re thoughtful, caring, and community-oriented. If you’re looking for stronger relationships and connections, Alcott is the school for you.”
-Elizabeth Gonzalez, Alcott Teacher
“Alcott is a place where we all value the students’ voices. It’s a place where students know they are heard—and where you’ll find juniors and seniors reach out to freshmen to help them feel welcomed and accepted.”
— Tiffany Greathouse, Alcott Teacher
