Mission & Philosophy
Eagle Rock’s mission is stated in two sentences, one pertaining to work with young people and the other to work with educators: An Eagle Rock student has the desire and is prepared to make a difference in the world. Eagle Rock has a positive effect on schools in the United States.
Eagle Rock is a value-driven school. A fundamental philosophy, “Eight Plus Five Equals Ten,” has animated Eagle Rock since its inception. The eight themes, five expectations, and ten commitments shape daily living; they are the source and purpose of ongoing conversations.
