Our Vision-Mission-Philosophy
Woodlawn's
educational philosophy is based on the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) Virtues
of Ma'at and the Nguzo
Saba, or the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa.
The virtues are also the foundation of our school rules:
Respect
self. Respect others. Respect the environment.
Our Vision:
To develop in our children, academic
excellence in Reading, Language Arts, Math., Science, Social Studies, and
Technolgy use.
To develop an integrated curriculum
that fosters a strong sense of self through an African-centered curriculum,
Responsive Classroom, and the cultural Arts.
Our Mission:
To continue a strong sense of school
community through increased parental involvement and enhanced partnerships
in the Woodlawn community and beyond.

trust, ownership, and belonging to our home-school-community partnership.

appropriate, for, it enables each student to experience success and have
access to current informational technology on a daily basis, .
Woodlawn children learn to define,
create a range of opportunities for, and speak for themselves. The Woodlawn
Community School has high social and academic expectations for each student. |
