The school emphasizes its REACH values—Respect, Enthusiasm, Altruism, Commitment, and Honesty—as a way of life that guides how students interact with each other and the world. Community traditions like the annual Heritage Classic hockey event, Readers Theatre performances, and Camp Connect bonding trips create continuity and connection. With small class sizes and close relationships between students and staff, the school fosters an environment where students have "someone cheering them on."

The school describes itself as a pioneer in "inclusive education" since 1981 and emphasizes placing "the individual needs of each student at the heart of everything we do," but does not articulate a specific diversity, equity, or inclusion statement or initiatives. The school does mention offering clubs like the Queer-Straight Alliance (QSA) and notes that there is "a place for every interested student" in drama productions.
