Lincoln School is a diverse and compassionate learning environment where everyone is engaged in a variety of educational opportunities that meet he needs of the whole child.  The school community has high expectations that foster academic success, an intrinsic appreciation for life-long learning, and creates socially responsible and globally aware citizens. 

The Mission   We will demonstrate successful learner behaviors with the support of, and example set by, all school community members- in a variety of environments- as evidenced by improved student character and academic achievement.

To those ends we believe that...

    *All students can learn

    *Students need to apply their learning in meaningful contexts

    *Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support

        their learning

    *Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process with appropriate

        opportunities for success

    *A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect between students and staff

    *A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning

    * Cultural diversity can increase students' understanding of different peoples and cultures

    *All staff, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's

         mission- ensuring our students are appropriately challenged.
