Rockridge School strives to graduate responsible and creative global citizens in a respectful and diverse environment where relevant learning fosters excellence in personal achievement, compassion, curiosity, and critical thinking.

For a school to be successful, students, staff and parents must be committed to a clearly defined set of core values. These values provide direction for school programs and the establishment of a school climate in which each student may have the opportunity to grow and reach an optimum level of academic, artistic, athletic, and personal success.

The following core values serve as our foundation at Rockridge Secondary School. We will strive to establish an atmosphere in which:
