The Classroom is Where the Difference is Made

The more things change, one thing remains the same.

Yes, we can have more programs than we did ten years ago, but one thing we cannot change is the basic belief that the classroom is where the difference is made.

The classroom is where minds are formed.  For it is in the classroom where a gifted teacher teaches great things to a captive audience.  (I mean if they are not interested, they still can’t go anywhere).

Schools are constantly tempted to lessen their focus on the classroom.  Yet, as soon as they do, they drift from their mission.  So, we make this promise to you.  We will put the best teachers we possibly can in the best positions to succeed so that the children can be the best of what we have to offer.

We will continue to grow, but we are determined to grow deep as we grow large.  We move forward into our next chapter with the same great commitment to the same great mission, a mission that succeeds or fails mainly in the classroom, because we know we win or lose in the classroom.
