Our Purpose is to inspire and challenge students to better themselves and the world around them.
Our Core Behaviors
Want to know whether you would be a good cultural fit on our team at Pilgrim? We strongly value teamwork as the fabric of our professional community. We are looking for team players who are:
Humble - They are more concerned with the success of the team than with getting credit for their contributions. Humble people are quick to point out the contributions of others and slow to seek attention for their own. They emphasize team over self and define success collectively rather than individually. Humble team players are not afraid to honestly acknowledge the skills and talents they bring to the team, though never in a proud or boastful way.
Driven - They have the desire to work hard and do whatever is necessary to help the team succeed. Their pursuit of self-improvement and desire to contribute is evident. They understand that their personal growth supports the success of their students and peers. Driven people almost never have to be pushed to work harder because they are self-motivated and diligent.
Relational - They use common sense about people and understand the importance of forming and maintaining positive relationships. Relational people value what is happening in a group situation and how to connect with others in the most effective and meaningful way. They use good judgment about how their words and actions impact group dynamics. They have a desire for strong connections with people in order to contribute to effective teamwork and a collaborative environment.
Our Anchors
Want to know what sets Pilgrim apart in our approach to education? You would be a great fit if your beliefs and practices align with our three anchors below:
Joyful Experience - We foster a strong sense of community and honor traditions that bring us together. Our commitment to a healthy school environment ensures that every student feels safe and supported, while offering student choice empowers them to take an active role in their education.
Focus on Mastery - We hold students to high academic standards and provide students with a clear understanding of what they are expected to learn, where they are in the learning process, and through feedback, how to improve. Students engage in authentic and challenging learning experiences that prioritize depth and retention over surface understanding and build future-ready skills.
Personal Attention - We celebrate every identity, creating an inclusive environment where all community members feel valued. Strong connections between faculty, students, and parents are fostered to ensure that each student is seen and known. By focusing on individual student needs, we support the unique development and success of every child in our care.
