The mission of the Berkeley Heights School
District, a community partnership that values the direct relationship between
exceptional education and individual success, is to challenge students to
explore, to excel, and to embrace a lifetime of learning by developing a staff
devoted to excellence, applying resources effectively, fostering a culture of
mutual respect and integrity, and offering engaging academic curricula and
diverse co-curricular programs.
| We believe: | |
| Education is the responsibility of the entire community. | All children have the ability to learn. |
| Education must support all aspects of a child’s development. | Children develop best in an atmosphere which celebrates their unique qualities. |
| For learning to occur a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment must exist. | The preparation and professional growth of teachers is an essential element of a quality education. |
| Education must foster a love of learning | In life-long learning. |
