Mission Statement

The mission of Decatur Township School for Excellence is to create a small 9th-12th grade school with a non-traditional, personal learning environment in which students are challenged to learn and excel at their own pace through a rigorous inquiry approach to learning. Students will make a personal commitment fostered by an adult mentoring relationship to become goal oriented, independent learners with a desire for knowledge. This environment will be characterized by rigor, relevance, and relationships and will serve to motivate students to achieve at their highest level. The cumulative effect of these experiences will be graduation from high school and entry into post-secondary education environment and will result in a successful career path for each student.
