The Stuart School community will provide all students with engaging, high-quality, and culturally relevant learning experiences, so that they become reflective and knowledgeable global-minded citizens who recognize different cultures and viewpoints, demonstrate academic and social-emotional growth, and seek to make the world a better place.
Stuart envisions that all students will be academically proficient through collaborative learning and promotion of self-respect and appreciation of others to prepare them for success in middle school and beyond.
