Mission. Philosophy. Vision Statement. Core Values.

Our Mission

Center School’s mission is to provide children who learn differently with a personalized education to realize their potential and reshape the way they view themselves and their future.
 

Our Philosophy

It is our belief that every student is capable of academic, social and emotional growth, and we are dedicated to designing instructional programs which foster each child’s optimal development through the use of small group instruction. This involves the ongoing diagnosis of the strengths and needs of each student, appropriate instructional placement, and a team approach to working with the students.
 

Our objective is to retain the excellence of an established program while integrating the best of current research and practice. We work to enhance the academic, social and emotional coping skills needed for future success.

Our Vision Statement

Center School strives to be a leader in personalized education for children who learn differently, where every student is known, valued, and supported. We envision learners who develop academic confidence, social awareness, and emotional strength.  We are committed to providing students with the skills, self-understanding, and optimism needed to succeed in school and beyond, approaching their futures with confidence and purpose.
 

Our Core Values

Our Core Values summarize our school's belief system. These values should be well represented in everything Center School does and offers, beginning with our employee's actions and our internal and external communications. Our Core Values are used to measure our words and actions.
