Prominent amongst the school’s distinctive characteristics is the environment of mutual respect; which is a cornerstone of the Balboa City School program. All members of our community are expected to treat each other with respect and dignity.
When students, teachers, staff and parents consistently demonstrate politeness and consideration for each other; it fosters an environment partial to both civil society and the workplace. Recent research on what employers consider to be necessary work skills include: the ability to get along with others, dependability, timeliness and perseverance. So long as employees possess these basic skills, employers will be willing to teach the accompanying job-specific skills. It is a significant objective of the school to send our students into the world with these requisite interpersonal skills.
