Mission Statement

Mission Statement:
The Banner School, through its Learning Triangle and its diverse community of learners, provides a nurturing yet challenging environment that motivates students to become responsible citizens who lead by example.

The Learning Triangle:
The cornerstone of The Banner School is “The Learning Triangle.” This Triangle represents the school, family, and student working together to provide the best educational experience for the student. Cooperation and open communication among the three are essential for The Triangle to be successful. Active parent participation in a child’s education is essential as is parent support of school policies and programs. Teachers must also be informed of unique student needs from the parents, and teachers in return must clearly communicate the school’s curricular goals as well as their classroom expectations to the parents and students. Students must be willing to work hard while in school. Each “vertex” of the triangle has special core responsibilities:

Teachers: motivate, challenge, inspire, empower, nurture, guide, facilitate, inform
Parents: communicate, support, participate, encourage, advocate
Students: cooperate, question, respect, explore, participate

The Banner School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, or national or ethnic origin in admission and scholarship programs, administration of its educational, athletic, or other school programs, or employment policies or practices.
