The Mission of Elm Place is:
to provide a caring environment where meaningful education and open communication support all students in becoming thoughtful, confident, and responsible individuals.

Elm Place School adheres to a "middle school" philosophy
in that it recognizes that the students are going through a transition period between elementary and high school while at the same time trying to cope with the challenges of adolescence. Our school is committed to providing the educational programming and emotional support that enables middle school students to reach their full potential as learners and individuals.

At Elm Place, we believe:
Learning is achieved through a partnership of students, staff, family and community; a successful school creates a nurturing, secure learning climate based on mutual respect; quality curriculum helps students develop problem solving and critical thinking skills needed for success in a changing world; curriculum and instruction are relevant, innovative, and interactive while incorporating valued practices and traditions; a safe environment provides opportunities for responsible risk taking and growth; individual differences are valued and addressed through collaboration among students, staff and faculty.
