Okay. Stresses academics and potential. Let’s move on to a few more.
“We know our students can successfully master the challenging academic material they need to function as life long learners in a diverse, democratic society. As Educators, we will provide the environment and instruction necessary to produce this achievement. At Stein, we will always work openly with students, parents, and the community at large toward this purpose.”

Hmm. Good to mention life long learners (a bit cliche but great if they really mean it) but what about any critical thinking, or even creativity? How about this innovative, researched-based public school, ”Our mission is to develop students who think critically and act responsibly. We will accomplish this by building a strong relationship with students, parents, staff and our community that inspires a love of learning and honors individuality and creativity.”
- Think critically
- Act responsibility
- Relationships & community
- Love learning
- Honor individuality and creativity
Much better. This sounds like a great environment for a learner and family.
“. . . provide a stimulating and enjoyable environment that promotes academic excellence and intercultural understanding. Our goal is to maximize learning potential and promote development of the whole child. We want our students to mature into whole, healthy human beings who are confident about their unique gifts and their place in the world as worthwhile contributors, who have keen minds and compassionate hearts and who contribute their special gifts to a world that needs them. We are committed to an academic program that emphasizes a passion for life-long learning. In pursuing this goal, we strive to ensure that each child develops socially, emotionally, creatively, physically, and cognitively in a nurturing and supportive environment.”

What’s not to love here? (Not all private schools say things like this. I am promoting private schools, only this incredible mission statement.)
