Mission:
Sardis aims to produce students who are productive and motivated citizens. Our objective is to recognize each child as a unique individual and strive to meet the educational needs of all our students by providing a learning environment conducive to the process of learning, while producing a young adult who will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to become an asset to his or her community; thereby enabling each one with the means to live successfully in this fast paced world of change.
Beliefs:
- Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
- Students' learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school.
- Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning.
- Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission.
- The commitment to continuous improvement is imperitive if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
- Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
- Curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences in learning styles.
- Student learning is the chief priority for the school.
- A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
- Schools need to function as a learning organization and promote opportunities for all those who have a stake in the success of the school to work together as a community of learners.
