Our Mission

The mission of Andover Schools is to prepare learners for a lifetime of responsible living and learning in a changing society by creating partnerships, high expectations and meaningful educational opportunities.

We believe:

The primary role of the school system is to provide quality instruction.
Excellent leaders are the foundation of quality instruction.
High Expectations, structure, discipline and a safe environment are essential for optimal learning.
Each student can learn, grow, and progress.
Students' physical and emotional needs must be met for maximum learning to take place.
Instruction must include consideration of learning styles, stages of readiness, and cultural background.
Strong home, school and community partnerships maximize student potential.
The instructional and support programs must be continually evaluated for effectiveness.
Excellent facilities and equipment are important to a quality learning environment.
The goal is to develop successful and productive citizens.
