Who We Are

Μείνετε ενημερωμένοι με τα τελευταία νέα

At Commons, we know we're stronger together. While individuals can achieve success, only teams rowing in the same direction toward shared goals can transform communities. We are a team aligned across our core values:

Authentic

We show up fully as ourselves, with integrity, self-awareness, and a proper understanding of “what it takes” to be a great colleague, strong educator, and fulfilled person.

Creative

We leverage resources creatively to solve problems and dive right in. We often consult with others, but you can also propose solutions and get things rolling without much guidance.

Compassionate

We enjoy building authentic, mutual relationships across lines of difference. We recognize the value of divergent perspectives and regularly include others in planning and decision-making.​

Curious

There’s always more to know, and we're hungry for it. We constantly absorb information from a variety of sources. If something doesn’t make sense, we ask questions until it does.

Fun

​We have a passion for education, an enthusiasm for our students and colleagues, and an ability to find joy and humor in almost any situation - even the challenging ones.
