Mission Statement

The mission of The Meadows School is to develop in its students a love of, and respect for, learning–inspiring them to seek knowledge independently and preparing them for higher academic pursuits. The School maintains high standards, recognizing and attending to the various needs of its students while providing optimum intellectual, emotional, social, and physical challenge and development.

The School seeks to instill in its students the concept that education carries with it an obligation to self, family and community. It encourages each student to become a compassionate and productive member of the increasingly global society of the 21^st century.

The Meadows School admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students of the School.  It does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, color, or national or ethnic origin.

Philosophy

• Successful education requires a three-way partnership between students, teachers, and parents.
• Successful education is most readily accomplished in an environment of serenity, where good manners and good citizenship are expected.
• Successful education is the product of having a Master Teacher in every classroom who "teaches to the top," that is, keeps the brightest student in the class fully challenged while providing a pathway to success for every student.
• Successful education results from financial resources being directed to the maximum degree possible towards the classroom and ancillary educational activities.

Objectives

The Meadows School program is designed for the "academically ambitious," able student, and the focus is to "teach to the top."  The School has established objectives to:

1. Reinforce traditional values and emphasize the cultivation of integrity, good manners, and personal discipline.
2. Give careful consideration to stages of development and styles of learning which recognize the varying abilities of each child.
3. Build self-confidence through setting and achieving realistic goals.
4. Encourage wholehearted participation in all aspects of school life.
5. Foster personal growth through meaningful, intellectual exploration and fulfillment by  teaching basic skills as the foundation for critical thinking, maintaining low student-teacher ratios for satisfying individual needs, and utilizing community resources to optimize student learning.
