Mission:

The mission of the Everglades City School is to provide each student with the opportunity to learn in a positive learning environment, which promotes mutual respect, open communication, and fairness.

Vision:

The vistas of learning and student achievement pivot on two fundamental cornerstones: early success in school and mastery of basic skills in reading comprehension, mathematics applications and writing skills. Readiness for learning is integral for success as children begin their educational quest. As such, a comprehensive pre-kindergarten program is essential to ensure student readiness. The mastery of basic skills is the key for success in all academic endeavors. It leads to the fulfillment of student achievement and influences student attitudes.

Beliefs:

All students can learn.

Teachers, administrators, parents, and community share the responsibility for advancing our school's mission.

Student learning is the chief priority for a school.

Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.

Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.

Positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff enhance a student's self-esteem.
