The responsibility of Pennsville Public School District is to provide for the academic and social development of the individual. Opportunities should be provided for individual growth according to ability, aptitude, interest, and need.
It is our belief that the three primary purposes of education are (1) to encourage the student to develop intellectually, so that he might achieve within the confines of his potentialities, (2) to help the student to develop socially, so that he might willingly accept his obligations to live cooperatively with his fellow citizens, and (3) to encourage the student to develop functionally, so that he might have a basis for becoming a contributing member of society.
We further believe that within this educational program the cultivation of democratic ideals is important, and that the right to an education is guaranteed to all members of our society.
We believe that our educational program must have the flexibility that is necessary to meet the ever-changing social conditions, the resultant emerging needs of individuals, and the complex problems of a constantly shrinking world.
