MISSION STATEMENT
Our core GA 任务 consists of 15 simple but profound words, 15 words that guide our actions and activities each day and every year.
INDEPENDENT IN THOUGHT
一个领导的心态开始于有必要的独立思考，在他或她所读的一切中寻找和发现真相, 看到, 和听到.
CONFIDENT IN EXPRESSION
Independent thinkers become self-自信 individuals. 老师和工作人员一次又一次地听到GA学生如何自信地表现自己. 校友在全国各地的访问提醒我们，在GA年建立的核心信心在整个成年期都是坚定的.
COMPASSIONATE IN SPIRIT
Effective leadership also involves the ability to care about others, to realize that everyone we meet can teach us something valuable and, 反过来, can learn something of value from us. True compassion: empathy that enables independent-minded, 自信的人认识到脆弱是我们所有人内在的联系精神.
COLLABORATIVE IN ACTION
无论是社区、团队还是公司，协作行动都能推动一个群体向前发展... Active "followership" plays a significant role in a meaningful education. 受过良好教育的人已经学会了何时以及如何献身于对整体的支持.
HONORABLE IN DEED
The 任务 Statement recognizes that without personal honor, 好奇的, 自信, 富有同情心的人不会产生成为有效领导者或追随者所需的信任. GA致力于教导学生以最高的个人标准来坚持自己. 为了实现这一目标，我们社会中的成年人必须成为值得信赖的行为榜样.
