Vision
At Douglas School Children feel joyful, valued, brave, are full of wonder, and experience a deep sense of pride.
- We must empower students to do amazing things that make a difference in the world.
- We must meet children where they are and build skills to be Creative, Innovative, and Entrepreneurial young adults.
- Students prosper best with a broad curriculum that celebrates, accommodates, and nurtures their academic and individual diversity.
- Children are natural learners and education needs to foster this - school should not demand a culture of academic compliance.
- Humans are inherently creative - education must arouse and revel in childrens’ creativity.
- Be prepared to make mistakes. If you’re not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original!
- If you are a member of the Douglas community you are responsible for the success of everyone.
- Our students must be caring and intellectually reflective citizens; who can recognize problems both locally and globally and realize that they can each affect change.
