Vision for JMS 2017-2018

Our vision is to create a school that is highly regarded for its academic growth, and for instilling in students the desire to strive for the intrinsic value, rewards and opportunities that result from quality, professionalism, and pride in one’s work. To achieve this vision, we believe in:

• A culture of academia
• A strong partnership with parents and the community
• A growth mindset for students and staff
• Research-based practices
• Authentic hands-on learning experiences for all students
• Awareness and understanding of issues related to diversity - social, cultural, and cognitive
• Embedded character education and promotion of strong habits of mind
