Our Values
Student Outcome Driven
We deeply believe in the life–changing potential of education — every year we see it transform our students’ trajectories. We see their potential as our ultimate responsibility: because our students have such capacity to achieve, we hold ourselves to the standard of helping them get there. We refuse to compromise our ethics in pursuit of these goals, believing the greatest student achievement comes without taking any shortcuts.
Hustle & Grit Is In Our DNA
At Flamingo, we believe if we are not making mistakes, we are moving too slowly. Our ambition requires us to grow to a scale where we can impact hundreds of thousands of students. Growth has distinct further benefits for our students: we can use scale to perfect our systems and refine our pedagogy, but also diversify and grow our network, offering benefits for everyone involved.
Schools Are Our Teammates
In achieving exceptional student outcomes, we need to work in lockstep with our partner schools. They are our teammates. School counselors and educators give unique insights into their students, can help drive alignment, and report back any challenges in executing our strategies.
Attention to Detail
Building a sustainable competitive edge requires executing a multitude of small tasks with excellence, rather than just focusing on the major ones. This way, the compounded advantage that comes from these small wins will result in our long-term success.
