Walt Whitman Mission
Whitman School will build a strong academic foundation, encourage an eagerness to learn, affirm personal strengths, enhance positive social skills and nurture community involvement for all of our children in a positive, supportive environment.
Walt Whitman Vision
At Whitman School, we envision a rigorous, standards-based curriculum where all students will demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and mindset to perform academically at or above their grade level in all disciplines. Every day, every student will engage in learning that will prepare them for success in post-secondary education, future careers, and life-long learning. This is the foundation we will use to guide our instruction during the year.
