Introduction
Alternative Education plays a central role in the economic development potential of our community. Together, we must aggressively respond to significant changes in public education throughout the 21st century. Meeting the needs of all children extends beyond state and federal mandates; it should be a common belief and commitment shared throughout the Claremont community.
The challenges in Alternative Education are significant. Due to funding shortfalls, space limitations, changing demographics, and the increasing demands of higher education and the workplace, our children, now more than ever, are relying on us to help them acquire the skills and resources necessary for success in a high-tech, global economy. The stakes are high, excuses are unacceptable, and failure is not an option. Our children deserve our very best effort.
This strategic plan reflects our passion for excellence and our commitment to being a partner in the economic and cultural advancement of our community. On behalf of our current and future students, faculty and staff, we thank everyone for your continued support to make a significant difference in the lives of our children.
The Foundation
It's all about the children.
Education is not a service that can be delivered to students; it is created in individuals as they engage with academic content, learn to do important things in the world, and make meaning of their own lives. Education is best and most effectively supported by strong, mutually accountable relationships between teachers, families and the students. All school activities should work to support these relationships and the focus on the student's success.
Our Core Beliefs
We, the students, staff, parents, and community are a family of learners and leaders, who work together to create an environment where all people participate in:
