nspiring students to achieve their potential
Unified School District No. 480 shares with our community the challenge of preparing and inspiring all students to be life-long learners.
Educational Philosophy
We believe all students should develop to their capacities in basic learning skills, in acquiring and communicating information, in the ability to think critically and constructively and in the power to be imaginative and creative. We also believe our educational program should adequately care for the development of students’ rational and intellectual powers and should nurture the human capabilities of all students.
We understand that each student is unique. Students have wide differences in their learning rates, experiences, energy levels, and goals. To meet these individual needs, our curriculum and program offerings must vary extensively.
