GOALS:  As the first public school in the state of Delaware accepted for the International Baccalaureate program, we continue to provide academic challenges at the highest level.  Our primary goal in all our academic areas is to provide integrated curriculum opportunities which meet the diverse needs of our students.  As responsible informed citizens, our students are taught to be self-directed learners who contribute to a global society.  Inservice programs directed toward training teachers appropriately for the delivery of effective instruction are an integral part of our continued growth as a school.

 

MISSION STATEMENT:  The faculty and administration of Mount Pleasant strive to pursue academic excellence in all aspects of student teaching and learning.  We believe in the capacity of all students to develop their academic skills and intrinsic motivation for learning.  Through the development of a rigorous program of study, our students are empowered to achieve at the highest level.  We work to continually develop, implement, and measure progress toward the standards which are aligned with the school district mission statement and the State of Delaware.
