The Schoolhouse Partners Education Foundation was founded as a grassroots charitable organization to aid educators in implementing quality programs at the classroom level. The primary mission of the Foundation is to ensure that all students, given enough quality time and support, will achieve mastery levels of essential standards. In striving to fulfill this mission, we will assist classroom teachers to continually challenge students to reach their highest potential; to become lifelong learners; to communicate effectively; to value self, others, and the environment; to solve problems; and to contribute to the betterment of their respective communities.

"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men." - Bill Beattie

• Open and timely communication is essential for a healthy community;
• Every person has inherent worth and, given enough quality time and support, can discover success;
• Self-esteem affects learning and healthy decision making;
• Learning and healthy decision-making affect self-esteem;
• Respect for others is fundamental;
• Fostering a sense of responsibility toward the community and the world is vital;
• Independent critical thinking, decision-making, and cooperation are essential tools for success;

Our driving vision is to collaborate with classroom teachers in:

• creating an environment in which successes are celebrated and failures are viewed as opportunities;
• providing diverse, individualized programs of study; and
• remaining sensitive to unique cognitive, social, and emotional stages of development.
