Our 10 d’Skills Community Commandments: 

  1. Skills Over Scores: We believe that real-world skills, mindsets, and impacts say infinitely more about who we are than test scores and GPAs. 

  2. Progress over Perfectionism: We believe that mistakes are ESSENTIAL to grow and build resilience to succeed, and that we should welcome them in our lives. 

  3. Courage Over Conformity: We believe in the power of courage and tenacity to break the mold and defy the status quo. 

  4. Impact Now: We believe that we don't have to wait until we’re older to make a real impact in the world on real businesses and real problems. 

  5. Community Over Competition: We believe in the strength of community to uplift, encourage, and educate one another, rather than just competing for “top spots”. 

  6. Pathway-Inclusive: We believe that whatever pathway you're on—college, no college, technical school, entrepreneurship, or something entirely different—d’Skills are vital to launch you into a fulfilling, best version of yourself. 

  7. Different OVER Better: We follow our different. 

  8. Forge Our Path: We believe that everyone has the opportunity to learn from this community and carve out their own unique career path. 

  9. Digital Tools, Infinite Potential: We believe Native Digitals are unstoppable when we harness the power of digital resources and AI technology.

  10. Real World, Real Skills: We believe that real learning happens when you begin with a real-world impact you want to make, and work backwards. In our community, we don't just learn; we apply and impact the real world.
