2. To foster skills and work habits, enabling students to succeed academically, mature socially, and develop physically, leading to success both during and after the high school experience.

3. To develop programs preparing students to be active and collaborative participants in a democratic multicultural society and a highly complex technological world.

4. To provide students with applicable hands-on learning experiences, encouraging the development of skills needed to succeed in the fashion industries and/or post-secondary educational experiences. 

5. To devise programs that create applied learning experiences that merge academic and career skills, helping students see unity within the diversity of learning.

6. To strengthen ties with the business community, providing students access to the latest innovations and technological advances as well as to special enrichments and on-the-job training.
