Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Garfield Scholars’ Academy is to empower our scholars to be purposeful
learners, critical and creative thinkers, motivated citizens and leaders, and determined lifelong learners. The mission will be accomplished by:

• Involving each learner in their education through individual goal setting

• Providing opportunities to think critically and creatively to solve real world relevant problems

• Developing self-awareness and a sense of self-worth to build confidence and become successful

• Recognizing and celebrating “Ah-Ha” moments so students can see that learning is relevant and fun

• Involving parents and community in all aspects of education and to create a community where learning is valued and respected.

We are committed to creating strong partnerships with families and all community members to ensure each scholar reaches their full potential.

We are committed to creating an equitable, inclusive, learning environment for students that is character-focused and addresses the unique skills and needs of our students. Small group and multi-sensory learning will be applied to daily classroom offerings that tap into students’ best learning styles and strategies. This is a strength-based model which capitalizes on students’ best way to learn rather than how they are deficient or don’t fit the “norm”.
