What is a Mission-Appropriate Student?

Mission-appropriate students align with our school’s mission and values in order to contribute to a thriving learning environment that fosters growth, creativity, and community. Ideal candidates at an appropriate age demonstrate a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to academic excellence. We value students who are curious, empathetic, and collaborative, and who are eager to contribute to a supportive and inclusive school community. In meeting these criteria, students are well-prepared to thrive at Lake Tahoe School and benefit from its numerous programs.
