It is the mission of SHAPE Elementary School to educate all students in an integrated, multi-cultural environment to become productive thinkers, to achieve their maximum physical and mental potential, and to be literate, responsible members of a global society through excellence in teaching and learning.

We believe that...

All students are entitled to an educational program that accepts each child on his/her own level of intellectual, physical, social and emotional development which provides for the realization of the unique potential within each individual and enhances the self-worth of each individual.

All students will be challenged to achieve high expectations and to reach their maximum potential.

All students can display responsible social behavior toward other individuals and groups in a diverse multi-cultural society.

All students will be provided the skills to be life-long learners.

All students will have an opportunity to foster their inherent creative talents and appreciation of aesthetic values.

All students can learn and succeed.
