Red Oaks Mission Reframed to Meet Challenges of 21st Century
September 15, 2008
 
As we learn and grow we continue to redefine ourselves, sharpening our sense of purpose and clarifying our objectives. The growth process for a school is similar. Red Oaks is a strong and, in many ways, groundbreaking school, and we are ready for a "growth spurt"!

We are poised for growth because:

  • We are committing to cultivating student skills that will meet the challenges of the 21st century
  • We hold prestigious accreditations from both Middle States and AMS
  • We offer a dynamic curriculum delivered by experienced faculty
  • We have a compelling approach to education that blends core Montessori principles and current research in cognitive science
  • We provide mentoring relationships between students and teachers, and partnerships between parents and teachers
  • We have a diverse community of students, alumni, faculty, staff and parents who maintain strong connections to our school and who support its mission 
With this in mind, the Red Oaks Board of Trustees has dedicated tremendous thought and effort into carefully rewriting our school mission statement. We proudly share it with you: 

OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Red Oaks School is to lay the foundation for students to be engaged global citizens, equipped with 21st century skills.  Our dynamic curriculum is based on core Montessori principles, enhanced by current educational research.  The Red Oaks School provides a culturally diverse environment in which students develop a love of learning, a strong social conscience, and a spirit of discovery, as they pursue their full academic and personal potential
