Sophie B. Wright High School 

MISSION STATEMENT 

The mission of the Sophie B. Wright Charter School is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which the entire learning community addresses the individual and unique developmental needs of each student and collaborates daily to ensure that the students develop confidence, competence and independent capacity through delivery of a rigorous curriculum and appropriate research based instruction. Ultimately, it is our mission to prepare students to become productive, successful, competent and critical thinking members of today’s society. 

We believe that: 

• Students’ learning needs must be the primary focus of all decisions made by the administration, teachers and parents. 

• Every student must be encouraged daily to grow and mature intellectually, socially and emotionally. Students must be offered a variety of academic and extracurricular activities. 

• The teaching staff must be well trained with opportunities for professional development and instructional empowerment as well as opportunities for collaboration with peers. 

• A variety of assessment tools will be provided for students to demonstrate their achievement of successful learning and academic growth. 

• Positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff must be present to enhance each student’s self-esteem. 

• Students, as well as parents, school administrators, teachers and the school community are all responsible for the students’ education. 

• Curriculum and instructional practices must incorporate a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences in learning styles. 

We believe that students should learn in a safe and supportive learning environment that supports and encourages educational success.
