Fulfilling the mission of ALHASAN requires us to create and uphold non-negotiable academic and behavioral standards that are both rigorous and practical. In an effort to establish new forms of accountability, we have composed seven criteria by which to judge our students’ success:

Leadership – All ALHASAN Academy students will be given leadership responsibilities and taught to embrace servant leadership. Servant leadership promotes a servant-first mentality that places the needs of others in high priority.

Scholarship – ALHASAN Academy maintains that every child can achieve high levels of academic excellence. Students will learn to become effective readers, writers and communicators while becoming skilled critical thinkers in every subject area.

Character - ALHASAN Academy believes that a person’s character is the true measure of that person. We expect all persons involved with ALHASAN to conduct themselves as persons of integrity for the good of the community. By establishing boundaries and maintaining high expectations, students, parents, teachers and staff will develop a culture that values great character.

Teamwork - We desire to create strong leaders who are capable of working with each other and others to accomplish objectives that will benefit them and the community-at-large. The staff of ALHASAN Academy will intentionally work to foster collaboration in all classes and activities.

Creativity – ALHASAN Academy exists to meet the needs of its students. Our staff will work diligently to assess the innate abilities and motivation preferences of our students in order to develop instructional practices that will foster creativity.

Community Engagement - ALHASAN Academy believes that the true definition of success includes generosity. We know that every student, parent, teacher and staff member involved with ALHASAN has something to give, regardless of background or circumstance. Our desire is to guide each member of our school community to recognize the importance of “giving back” as a fundamental quality of a valuable community member.

Identity - ALHASAN Academy students will develop a healthy self-image of themselves. By eighth grade, ALHASAN students will view themselves as valuable members of our school community as well as the community-at-large. Also, ALHASAN students will develop a belief that they will attend college.
