Captain Elementary School

Captain School Mission Statement

We believe:
  • All students can learn.
  • The capacity to learn can be developed.
This requires a learning environment in which all students:
  • Are free to explore ideas and are taught that mistakes are feedback rather than failures.
  • Experience success daily.
  • Are held to high standards of excellence.
  • Receive an appropriate balance of security and challenge.
  • Are taught to take responsibility for their own behavior.
  • Are active participants in the life of the school.
"Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve."
Roger Lewin
