Essential qualities for success

To align school operations and pedagogy and to guide 招聘 and development, Maumee Valley has developed two important visions: Portrait of a Graduate and Portrait of an Educator.

The Portrait of a Graduate is a clear and comprehensive vision of the knowledge, 技能, and attributes Maumee Valley graduates should possess upon graduation.

The Portrait of an Educator guides teacher recruitment, professional development, and evaluation as well as ensures the quality and consistency of education provided by Maumee Valley. It serves as a foundation for aligning the school’s educational vision with the faculty who play a crucial role in implementing it.
