The vision of the Dr. Ketterer Charter School is to create a nurturing environment where students recognize and value the life and school connection.
Beliefs:
Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
A safe and supporting learning environment promotes student achievement.
The development of the curriculum, design of instructional activities, and the use of assessment measures are focused on providing learning opportunities and feedback systems that enable students to achieve success.
Students need to not only develop a deep understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but also need to develop the capacity to apply their learning and to reason, solve problems, and produce quality work.
The commitment to continuous improvement is expected of all stakeholders of the school system to achieve the goal of enabling all students to realize their potential in a rapidly changing diverse, global society.
