Building a foundation for SUCCESS within every child

Germantown students graduate having had an enriched academic experience, one that cultivates the whole child and fosters a growth mindset so he/she can discover passions, develop strengths, and grow potential.

Our learners know themselves better and have learned to love learning—key elements to self-fulfillment. They leave us with an educational foundation of breadth and depth that sets them on a path for success in college, career, and life.

LEARN — Develop competent learners who continuously improve their abilities as able readers, writers, communicators, and mathematicians and who possess a strong foundation in the physical and social sciences and the arts; who have learned how to learn—how to master a body of knowledge and skills with passion, curiosity, and creativity; the ability to synthesize information, problem-solve, and make decisions in a responsible manner.

COLLABORATE — Demonstrate the ability to work ethically, respectfully, and productively with and alongside others while demonstrating strong social awareness and relationship management skills.

KNOW THEMSELVES — Draw forth the natural gifts, skills, and talents of our children to ensure the best possible outcomes of their success as productive members in society, active, caring citizens; develop a growth mindset with the ability to persevere through challenges and failure toward worthy long-term goals with intrinsic motivation.
