4. NEI VALUES: self-knowledge, self-reliance, cooperation and compassion, giving and forgiving, nonviolent communication, and interpersonal growth

We therefore ask all members of the school to regularly reflect on their thoughts, actions, and ideals. This will encourage them to reorder their priorities, make new and better decisions, realize new possibilities, and update their ideas of who they want to be. We ask everyone to work together, do their best, share ideas, be scrupulously honest, practice decency, try new things, and expand their skills. We suggest they practice giving thanks, forgive and let go of grudges, volunteer when they see something that needs doing, and express and enthusiasm for life.
