Mission & Vision

Vision

Inspire Elementary prepares children to positively impact their future.

Mission

Inspire Elementary leverages children’s passions, talents, and learning styles to create an education that cultivates the whole child.

Our Values: Innovate, Impact, Inspire

Innovate: Educators draw upon educational best practices and the latest tools, focus on conceptual understanding, and empower students to learn by doing; inquiry is leveraged to empower students to understand people and communities at a very human level; children learn to develop emotionally meaningful as well as functional solutions to positively impact; design thinking provides an integrated approach to solutions—balancing empathy, intuition, and inspiration with rational and analytical thinking; classroom space and time is used flexibly to engage children in a joyful, authentic, and play-based learning environment.

Impact: Learning opportunities are vehicles used to create solutions that make a difference; educators realize the future depends on our ability to improve educational opportunities for ALL students in an increasingly diverse community; children engage in learning through a human-centered design-based approach which helps them explore and develop personal interest areas while creating solutions for local, community, and global situations.

Inspire: Children think critically, engage in collaborative projects, and become creators, not just consumers, of their world; children learn responsibility, resilience, and grit while developing growth mindsets; children think, create, innovate, and become engaged as learners; children set individual goals, make decisions about how to spend time, and access resources in order to personally challenge themselves and achieve standard-based competencies.
