• We have extraordinarily quick wits, thick skin, and are experts are keeping life light-hearted. We are models of resilience and good humor (even after having a piece of chalk hurled in our general direction).
• We are flexible and we teach flexibility (sometimes to rigid thinkers!). We are willingand ableto pivot, sometimes constantly. We are most successful when we are not too terribly attached to a specific outcome and we often giggle after watching our plans crash and burn.

• Hampshire Country School faculty are experts at patiently and thoughtfully building healthy, productive, relationships.
• Our faculty works hard with challenging students and none of us ever presumes malice when other explanations are even remotely available.
• We understand that all behavior is communication.
