Distinctive Schools

Distinctive Schools was founded on the core beliefs that: ? All children deserve a rigorous public education regardless of zip code. ? Teachers know best what children need to thrive and grow and should have a strong voice in a school. ? Families are essential in creating a love of life-long learning and supporting the whole child. ? Communities can be transformed and a bright future can be created by the presence of an excellent school. Mission:?The mission of Distinctive Schools, an educational practice leader committed to social justice and the elevation of access and achievement in historically marginalized communities, is to support each child in becoming an engaged and curious learner, a confident self-advocate, and a creative problem-solver by setting high expectations and nurturing a positive culture that honors diversity, collaboration, and optimism.
