VISION
In the beginning
there was a vacuum.
The most needy
students received
the lowest level
of care or none
at all.
We live in one
world. We are
inter-dependant.
Children give
as they receive.
They are precious
and essential,
their talents
many-fold.
The impulse to
destiny is manifest
as we endeavor
to maximize all
our potentials
and possibilities.
Reaching for the
stars we embrace
and appreciate
each moment of
tragedy and triumph
along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
Every child deserves
unconditional
positive regard
and respect. With
each interaction
guided by our
primary operating
principle, education
transcends classroom,
stretching out
into the family,
community and
workplace. Static
brick and mortar
constrict the
learning environment,
inviting boredom
and alienation.
We recognize learning
is dynamic and
shaped by experiences
before, during,
and after the
current moment.
Embracing all
experiences, we
welcome the opportunity
to support and
grow with them
while enriching
the world around
us all. With this
recognition, we
work toward a
continuum of education
and service that
challenges these
communities to
emanate unconditional
positive regard
and respect.
MISSION
The Center School
provides opportunities
to maximize the
quality of life
for children and
young adults who
are faced with
significant challenges
while proving
unconditional
positive regard
in a diverse environment.
To ensure the
well-being of
students, The
Center School
assists schools,
agencies, families,
and communities.
The Center School
provides considerable
resources to staff
in order to meet
the needs of the
individual students.
