It consists of 2 middle schools, 4 lower elementary schools, 2 upper elementary schools (currently being built) and 1 K-8 charter school. It currently serves more than 3,500 students.

- Reaching their highest academic, social, emotional, intellectual, and physical potential;
- Becoming problem solvers, critical thinkers, risk-takers, designers, collaborators, and innovators; and
- Developing into contributing, empathic citizens and leaders who are responsible stewards of their world and care about equity and justice, both locally and worldwide.
