Mission Statement
Short Avenue Elementary School's Mission calls upon all staff and parents, working together, to enrich our students through innovative, real-world, student- centered, project-based learning within the interconnected fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).
Through this process of inquiry, collaboration, communication, design and critical thinking, all students will confidently exhibit 21st Century skills that will effectively prepare them for a world of diverse, global opportunities. In addition, our students will understand how their comprehensive education provides them with, not just the knowledge and skills, but also the integrity to become productive, disciplined, and responsible citizens of the world.
