Old Bridge Mission Statement
Recognizing that each person has an inherent
worth, it is the mission of the Old Bridge Public Schools to empower each
student to learn, to achieve success, and to become a confident, productive
member of a pluralistic, global society prepared to face the challenges of the
21st century.
We Believe that:
- Learning is a lifelong process.
- All children can learn.
- Education is a shared responsibility among
the schools, the child, the family, and the community.
- All students are entitled to a safe,
supportive learning environment.
- Self-esteem is necessary for successful
learning.
- The development of curriculum is an on-going
and cyclical process.
- The district should provide a dynamic
curriculum that recognizes the various needs and learning styles of the
students.
- An appreciation of the arts and humanities
enhances the education of the whole child.
- All students should be taught to appreciate
and respect the cultural differences in our society.
- All students are worthy of educational
opportunity, respect, tolerance, and fairness.
- Schools should prepare students to function
successfully in society.
- All children should be encouraged to rise to
their highest level of achievement.
