The Khabele Method is based on five core principles: Advancement, Reverence, Integrity, Source, and Equivalence (ARISE).
 ARISE - To come into being, to awaken, to become apparent, to move upward.
Advancement - Schools must constantly advance and evolve to empower students to be successful.
- Student-generated/Teacher-facilitated Learning Objective based curricula
- Focus on Entrepreneurialism - Profit-generating Project Week
- Global Consciousness - Global Citizen Forum
Reverence - Education is more than a means to an end. It is a sacred and life-long process.
- Promotion of a school culture conducive to personal spiritual inquiry
- Hiring those who teach as a calling
- Using Socratic Practice to foster exploration in learning
Integrity - Students are inherently whole and unbroken. As students develop and realize their purpose, their natural talents begin to shine.
- Community promises - minimal rules and discipline structure
- Enrollment based on student choice
- Student Mission Statement
 Source - The source of every thriving school is a culture in which students are accepted and honored as the leaders of the future.
- An incessant focus on affecting school, home, and class culture
- School values, mission and vision are shared with the whole community
- An emphasis on Human Development as opposed to "fixing"
Equivalence - For students to learn and grow, teachers and parents must do the same.
- The Parent Summits
- Ongoing and intensive teacher training
- Teacher's Assistant Program
