MISSION & VISION
STATEMENT
The
Mission of Peninsula School is to produce citizens who
have the capacity to
apply knowledge
and cultural understanding to new contexts, appreciate
beauty and care for the environment. The Vision of
Peninsula School is to help students develop and utilize
academic
and social skills necessary for effective participation
in a democratic society. Furthermore, it is our
goal to help students attain independence, gain skills
and see
learning as a way to improve their lives. We have
identified positive character traits that include the
capacity to
care for one's self and others, the ability to
work with others,
and willingness to take risks. We aim to provide
our students with opportunities to contribute in meaningful
ways to
our learning community and the extended community
as they learn that individuals can make a difference
in their world.
Academic
content is aligned with the State of California Standards
and the Mission
and Vision of the school is reviewed by the teachers
as a part of the professional development process and
by the School Site Council annually.
Our school encourages
students to think creatively and to
express their ideas in a safe and nurturing environment.
