Our Core Values

Stellar Virtual has five core values that shape and define our organization’s culture across all programs and locations. Each establishes a shared sense of purpose and creates a cohesive environment where everyone can feel connected to the mission.

• Go the Extra Mile (Go): Customer Service is everyone’s job.
• Make Your Motion Matter (Make): Prioritize, focus, and support Stellar Virtual goals.
• Kids First, Always (Kids): Our actions, decisions, and behaviors are always grounded by those we serve, students and their families.
• Respect: Assume positive intent with our students, families, and colleagues.
