CNG Vision and Purpose: Educating the mind, strengthening the body, and developing character for leadership and service in the world of today for a better tomorrow.
Core values: integrity, caring, respect, responsibility
The philosophy behind discipline at CNG is to support students in their learning of responsibility and self-discipline as an educational process rather than as a primarily punitive outcome. We believe in positive discipline: setting clear expectations for behavior, explicitly teaching those expectations, and providing meaningful and timely feedback for appropriate behaviors as well as consequences for inappropriate behavior. Integrated into our philosophy are the use of Restorative Practices™, which involves building community, repairing relationships, and making restitution within the school community, and CharacterStrong™, the program which helps us weave character into the daily practices of our school and community.
