Specialty Aquatic Programs LLC and S3 Montessori Swim School Core Values

Education & Lifelong Learning: We believe the Montessori Method with a therapeutic twist is the best educational model to achieve our learning goals. We value a thoughtful and well-prepared learning environment that is both purposeful and meaningful. A dynamic and nurturing environment should provide students with success and joy to become lifelong lovers of the water. We expect our teachers and leaders to be lifelong learners who share knowledge with and learn from our students, partners, and fellow staff.

Community: Each person—student, teacher, leader, Board member, parent, and volunteer—who joins the Specialty Aquatic Programs family belongs to a diverse group of students and adults who respect each member of our community. Each person is expected to take responsibility for himself or herself and the group to contribute to its success.

Integrity We are honest and direct and we make every effort to do the right thing. Our community exists to serve children and adults of all abilities. We continually ask how we may better serve each participant. The integrity of our decisions is based on the best interests of our participants.

Compassion We respect one another as members of the community. We value the uniqueness of each member of our community and recognize every person will have special needs at different times. Understanding a situation and responding require compassion and we will give it. We are human beings and we treat one another with kindness and dignity.

Excellence We strive to attain high standards of performance in everything we do to develop the maximum potential of every participant and staff. The individual student is empowered to be a self-motivated, self-disciplined, and independent learner. Our staff is talented people who are giving their best and we work together to create an environment where others can do their best as well. We continually seek ways to improve.
