At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, academic achievement is only one part of the journey. We believe that success begins with strong values—principles that shape how students learn, grow, and engage with the world around them. That’s why our THRIVE values are at the heart of everything we do.
THRIVE stands for Trust, Heart, Respect, Inquiry, Value, and Excellence—a set of guiding beliefs that define who we are as a community and who we aspire to become. These values are not just words on a poster; they are embedded into our classrooms, hallways, and conversations every single day.
Trust: Creating a Foundation for Growth
Trust is the bedrock of a strong learning community. At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, we work to build trust between students, teachers, and families through consistent communication, transparent practices, and mutual respect. When students feel safe and supported, they are more willing to take academic risks, ask questions, and grow from their mistakes.
Whether it’s a team project in a science lab or a student reaching out for help in math, trust empowers our students to lean into the learning process with confidence and courage.
Heart: Leading with Compassion and Kindness
Heart means leading with empathy and compassion. Our teachers and staff care deeply about every student’s well-being, and that care extends far beyond test scores. We encourage students to show kindness to others, support their peers, and contribute positively to our school culture.
Through service projects, classroom activities, and simple everyday moments, EDUPRIZE students learn that success includes how we treat one another. We celebrate those who go out of their way to lend a helping hand or make someone feel seen and heard.
Respect: Valuing Every Voice
Respect is about more than good manners—it’s about truly valuing the voices, experiences, and ideas of everyone in our community. At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, we foster a culture where students feel comfortable expressing themselves, listening to others, and resolving conflicts with integrity.
Our focus on character development and student leadership helps reinforce the importance of treating others with dignity. From preschool through high school, we see respect as a cornerstone of citizenship and lifelong success.
Inquiry: Cultivating Curiosity and a Love for Learning
We believe that questions drive discovery. Inquiry means encouraging students to explore, wonder, and investigate the world around them. Whether students are building STEM projects, writing persuasive essays, or diving into themed “Cottages” units, curiosity is always encouraged.
By empowering students to ask meaningful questions and pursue their interests, we help them develop critical thinking skills that prepare them for the future. At EDUPRIZE, inquiry is the spark that keeps learning exciting and relevant.
Value: Recognizing Each Student’s Worth
Every child has something unique to offer. At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, we go out of our way to help each student feel seen, supported, and celebrated. We believe in the power of personal connection, and we make time to learn every student’s strengths, challenges, and goals.
This focus on value translates into small group instruction, differentiated learning opportunities, and inclusive activities that help every student thrive. Our teachers are invested in each student’s journey, both academically and personally.
Excellence: Striving to Be Our Best
Excellence is more than high grades—it’s about showing up with purpose, resilience, and commitment. At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, we challenge our students to set goals, push themselves, and take pride in their growth.
From award-winning STEM labs to advanced coursework and real-world projects, we provide the tools and support for students to reach their full potential. We also model excellence through professional development, teacher collaboration, and continuous improvement across our campus.
THRIVE in Action
Our THRIVE values are more than a philosophy—they’re lived out every day through the actions of our students, teachers, and families. We celebrate students who exemplify these values and recognize their efforts through positive reinforcement, campus events, and leadership opportunities.
As we start a new school year, we’re excited to continue building a culture where every child feels empowered to THRIVE. At EDUPRIZE Gilbert, we’re not just preparing students for academics—we’re preparing them to be kind, curious, confident leaders of tomorrow.
Let’s make this year our best yet—together. 💙
