Student Rights and Expectations

Vida students work towards our vision every day by bringing enthusiasm, curiosity, and knowledge to the classroom. The life experiences of students and their Vida community, together with class materials, are resources for learning at or above grade level in all subject areas.

Vida students speak, read, write, and listen in English and in Spanish every day, and find connections between their languages (metalanguage). They are bilingual and biliterate.

Vida students are compassionate global citizens. They are proud of their heritage, and see differences as opportunities to connect. Vida students care about fairness and justice.

Vida students solve real world problems in the classroom and outside of it through inquiries assigned by teachers, and identified by students themselves.

Vida students work towards a healthy body and mind by moving every day, eating nutritious food, and using self-regulation and conflict resolutions tools.
