Value Promise statement

We promise that every student will have access to a school that supports his/her academic and social-emotional readiness, while providing a safe and conducive learning environment.

IF every school, through an instructional leadership team, leverages advanced literacy as the gateway to establish clear instructional priorities through:

instruction
assessments
curriculums
professional learning opportunities

THEN every student in every classroom every day will engage in rigorous, authentic, culturally relevant learning experiences; realizing the vision of the New York City graduate, a young person who is prepared for college, career, and life.
