Our School Mission

We at The School of Integrated Learning, MS 354, guide our community individually and collectively towards success by making good choices that address academic needs and enhance social development, while awakening and nurturing interests and talents.

Our School Vision

Our vision for The School of Integrated Learning is to form a “Professional Learning Community” where as a “team” we do “whatever it takes” to ensure academic and emotional success for our students and all members of our families and school community.

Our Creed

At The School of Integrated Learning Middle School 354, we believe in the regenerative power of education.

Like our symbol the Phoenix, we rise brilliantly from the ashes of our ignorance. Knowing that success comes through resiliency, we will always follow the rules, make good choices and learn something new everyday.

Instructional Focus

To strengthen the instructional core, the principal will provide all staff with professional learning on research based practices, strategies, and protocols aligned to student needs in order to increase the rigor of instruction, and engage students at high cognitive levels.

 

We will ensure a deep understanding of the concepts by providing students with ample opportunities for inquiry, discourse, critical thinking and engagement in collaborative activities to become knowledgeable global citizens.
