The mission of Mary Blair School is to create a school community that establishes an environment for building a healthy self-esteem, and learning to learn. Students can learn and practice social skills that include leadership skills, relationship building, conflict resolution and respect for self and others. There should be a balance in education between academics and social skills and an emphasis on building good self-esteem. Students and teachers individual differences must be respected and valued, with the right to be autonomous, while being consistent with our core beliefs. Open communication is essential within our school community and is vital to our success.
Every student can learn.
Every student deserves the right to be successful. Programs will provide opportunities for teachers and students in teaching and learning social skills and will foster positive relationships and healthy self-esteem in students and teachers. All of the school community will be involved in some way in the process of planning and carrying out a balanced educational program. A good system of communication will be established and maintained. Heightened awareness and understanding of diversity in family structure in our multi-cultural society will be encouraged.
