Mission Statement
The Sweetland School of Integration will
Provide a vigorous dynamic educational system characterized by:
- a caring, dedicate and highly competent staff,
- innovative instruction,
- emerging technology, and
- comprehensive programs
- in partnership with an involved and supportive community.
That will educate students who:
- think critically,
- communicate effectively,
- value and demonstrate high ethical conduct,
- possess positive self-efficacy.
- contribute to their community, and
- excel among people throughout the world
The Sweetland School of Integration will be
- a place where students, faculty, and staff believe it matters what they think and do.
- It is a place where they observe, examine, ponder, discuss, and analyze;
- where they speak and listen with an open mind and respect for others;
- where they develop the desire to ask good questions.
- It is a place where each and all work for the common good;
- in a time to think beyond oneself.
Students would be more inclined to:
- take a stand on emerging and enduring issues;
- be reflective, not reflexive, in thought;
- demonstrate a sense of connection to a larger group;
- have a feel for the post-graduation contributions to be made;
- have a shared ethic;
- readily deploy their intellectual arsenal; and
- reveal a sense of efficacy and belief that a difference will be made.
