Below is the opening of our Mission and Vision statement. This is part of what, in Seattle Schools, is called a transformation plan; a plan for how to deliver the highest quality instruction resulting in powerful learning.

Schmitz Park School provides a learning community where every student is encouraged to achieve to their fullest potential.

Each and every student is engaged to learn without limits:

fluency with foundational skills in reading,

writing and mathematics;

effective communication skills in a variety of settings;

artistic expression;

application of their skills to solving relevant life and academic problems;

and healthy and physically fit lifestyles.

Students learn within a school culture where every student and adult demonstrates positive attitudes toward self, others and learning and where each member of the learning community takes personal responsibility to assure a safe and secure learning environment; as well as meaningful partnerships with families and the community.
