Our Mission

Our mission describes our school's purpose. Our vision depicts our desired future. The principles needed to achieve our mission and vision are articulated in our values. Finally, the actions we need to demonstrate to make our mission, vision and values a reality are described in our collective commitments.

We have developed these statements in collaboration with our staff, students and families. They are part of our School Success Plan.

Mission

Mission: Is to have students actively engaged in authentic learning experiences that include opportunities for leadership and recognition of intellectual, physical and emotional successes of all students. Northwood supports and promotes a collaborative partnership between the school, families and the community. We foster ongoing, professional growth through dialogue, team teaching and reflective practice.

Vision

Vision: Our vision is to foster the academic, social, emotional and physical growth of every child.
