INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

BEECHWOOD MISSION STATEMENT  

The Beechwood School community works together to ensure that each student receives a rigorous and balanced educational program in a caring environment where intercultural understanding and respect are valued. All children will develop critical skills that will allow them to effectively communicate, collaborate with peers, investigate & solve problems, and achieve their full academic and creative potential. 

BEECHWOOD VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is to see that all students are equipped, enriched, and empowered for college and career readiness. We envision a school where the Professional Learning Community works in collaborative teams to focus on student learning and achievement. Teachers, students, and staff work on meeting grade level standards targeting specific learning needs and writing S.M.A.R.T. goals for all grade levels in the areas of language arts, mathematics, and English language development. Smart goals are Specific and strategic, Measurable, Attainable, Results-based, and Time-bound. The curriculum is standards-based and engages student learning. The Beechwood staff, through PLCs, will monitor individual student results progress, and revise goals and RTI strategies as necessary based on student needs. Parents are informed and involved in their child’s progress and viewed as partners in the education of their children. 

EIGHT CONTENT AREAS

All students receive instruction in Eight Content Areas: Art; Design; Individuals and Societies; Language Acquisition; Language and Literature; Mathematics; Physical Education; and Science. Our goal is to create well-rounded, globally-minded students who are ready to learn and confront the challenges they face.
