The purpose of HROS is to spark and nurture the highest potential in humanity. To offer an education that honors and nurtures the human spirit in each child within a vibrant community. To provide the depth and vision of an authentic education through a commitment to developing the whole child and fostering a life-long love of learning.

The social mission of HROS is to promote the evolution of human consciousness through our actions, from the everyday to the large scale. We promote the right of everyone to freely develop their capacities to become the best human being possible. Throughout our school, we emphasize serving others, honoring our connection to the Earth, and promoting peace. Based on these values, our school strives to make this education accessible to all children regardless of economic circumstances, and celebrates the gifts that a diverse community brings to us. We believe that all human beings should be treated with equal dignity and respect, with unity being a principal value at our school. In all of these ways, we strive to be a model of how the larger world could be.
