When you visit our school, you will find students who are willing to take risks. You will also find
students and staff who treat each other with dignity and respect. Students are engaged because of an increased
hands-on approach to learning, and an instruction style that caters to
different learning needs.
We believe
that:
Every successful
school begins with successful relationships
Students learn best when varied instructional approaches are
used so we are responsive to the differences and diversity exhibited by
young adolescents
A “whole child” focus is needed to address a students’
physical, educational, social and emotional well-being.
Broadening experiences, strengthening adaptability and
building resiliency for students to meet the competencies of the 21st
century learners through engaging instruction
Our learning environment reflects
pride in achievement, responsibility to the school and others, and the mutual
respect for all who are a part of the Montrose community.
