Our Mission Statement

School 23's Global Learning Through Technology Magnet Program is designed to prepare our children for success in the 21st Century. Emphasis is placed on the awakening of intellectual curiosity through experiential learning; focusing on the skills needed to gather, analyze, and communicate information. Our children are actively involved in extensive, hands on projects requiring the use of state of the art technology; enabling them to become productive citizens of our ever changing global society.

Two Sculptors

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And I watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher:
The tools she used were books and music and art;
One was a parent
With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.

And when at their work was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had worked into the child
Could never be sold or bought!

And each agreed she would gave failed
If she had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher stood the home!
