Every member of the La Cima community is expected to demonstrate our C.A.R.E Principles each day. They are essential to fulfilling our mission as a school and as an integral part of the Brooklyn community.
C.A.R.E. principles are reinforced in several contexts; daily in classroom C.A.R.E. circles led by teachers and scholars, in weekly grade-wide community meeting and in monthly all-school community meetings. Each month, a new principle and value are introduced and scholars are asked to demonstrate exemplary behavior representing the principle and value of the month.
Build, Learn, Grow through Love of culture.
