MISSION

OUR MISSION

Our entire school will motivate students to achieve their personal best and to be kind and respectful of one another.

VISION

OUR VISION

Our learning throughout life will lead to success for everyone.

THEORY OF ACTION

If the school provides teachers and staff with systemic learning opportunities grounded in sustaining academic rigor, and engaging learners in quality interactions, school-wide instructional practices will be enhanced. As a result, students will achieve increasingly high levels of learning.

 

If the students’ daily learning experiences are driven by high standards and academic rigor, supported by careful scaffolds, and structured interactions, students will learn to read, write, and think critically across all disciplines.
