At Stanford Montessori we believe

·All students who are challenged with appropriately high expectations will improve their academic and behavioral performance.

·A high-quality instructional program with clear purpose and direction will include a variety of learning experiences designed to meet individual needs.

·Productive and successful education involves students, parents, teacher, and community, who effectively communicate and are active participants.

·Student learning is supported by a safe, clean and accessible facility.

·Student assessment is an on-going process that is used to make educational decisions for individual student achievement.

·The shared school data-driven, decision-making process is made by the collaboration of all students and stakeholders through representation of the Parent Teacher organization and the Building Leadership Team to insure that the needs of the school are met through internal and external communication. Decisions pertaining to individual student performance and behavior issues are managed through a team of parents, teachers, and itinerant staff to provide a quality education for all students.

School policies and procedures are defined through consensus, research based information, and focus on student learning to insure academic achievement and a peaceful school climate.
