About the only things they can be sure of are that they will encounter life forms and cultures very different from their own, that they will face problems that require functioning smoothly as a team, and that a team is only as strong as the character and abilities of its individual members. At its core, this program explores issues, attitudes, and behaviors important to learning how to get along with others - whether those others are from different races, cultures, and species, or from their own team of trainees. The young explorers serve as models for the young audience. As the cadets learn hard lessons about such things as trying to see the world from the perspective of other cultures, the positive benefits in diversity, or how to mesh their own strengths and abilities with those of others on the team, so too do young viewers. This series examines fundamental issues about how and why to get along with others who may be very different from oneself, and about the kinds of abilities and strength of character necessary to be a good Stargate Explorer - and a good person.

Additionally, it educates young viewers about the animals themselves, their habitats, development and behavior, and also promotes awareness of important environmental issues. The show delivers the kind of information and pro-social values that are of inestimable importance in shaping the growth and character of young people.

Because Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and their classmates are engaging characters with whom young viewers easily identify, they serve as excellent role models. As they deal with such pro-social issues as honesty, perserverance, dependability, diversity, self-reliance, and self-respect, their struggles and what they finally learn provide young viewers with the kinds of "life lessons" that study after study indicates parents and teachers value.
