District Philosophy of Education

In order to prepare our students for the ever-increasing demand for a literate, technology- oriented work force, the Middletown Township Public School District embraces an instructional philosophy that is student-centered, inquiry-based, and that differentiates instruction based on students’ individual abilities.

Teachers, as facilitators of lifelong learning, challenge students by providing an environment in which the students become active participants engaged in working together on projects and in solving problems that involve or simulate authentic data and events.

Students learn to value a variety of different approaches and are taught to take responsibility for their own meaningful learning as they become more adept at communicating their reasoning and in asking questions to help clarify their thinking and that of their classmates.
