Strategic Plan 2007-2012
Mission Statement:
The Benjamin School provides a challenging college preparatory education to a diverse student body in a structured, nurturing community environment. The school motivates students to master the skills of learning, communicating and evaluating choices; encourages them to grow intellectually, socially, morally and physically to their fullest potential; and develops in them a coherent set of values that include love of learning, concern for others, and a commitment to serve society.
At the Benjamin School we are guided by the following principles:
- Excellence is central to everything we do at Benjamin.
- Our primary purpose is to serve the educational needs of our students.
- We have a balanced commitment to academics, the arts and athletics.
- We value a sense of community, character development, and service to others. As a private school with a public purpose, we encourage members of our community to be active citizens within our democratic society.
- Our strengths are our students, our faculty and our reputation. We strive to be the best school by having the best people. They are the foundation of our success.
- We encourage creativity and innovation throughout the school. Teaching and learning are dynamic processes. We must meet the emerging needs of our students.
- Our school is committed to diversity.
- We believe in a partnership between school and home.
- Our size needs to serve our students. A right-sized school allows each child to be known, cared for, and challenged.
- Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our school.
- We must set high standards and do everything we can to help our students meet them. Successful students become fearless, independent, self-directed, and collaborative learners.
- We prepare our students for college and life, and measure our success by their commitment to lifelong learning in a global society.
