Mission and Goals:

The mission of Sandpiper School is to create the finest learning environment for the collective body of students, teachers and parents. The school community embraces the pursuit of excellence in its curriculum, exposure to different cultures and its utilization of creative resources. Sandpiper seeks to embrace the breadth of learning provided in the programs of language arts, natural sciences, mathematics and logic, history/social sciences, visual/performing arts and health and physical education. The advancement of positive attitudes, civic responsibilities, and social conscience promote awareness of global communities and the impact of interdependence amongst groups. All students attend to the interactive process of engaging activities that encourage citizenship, creativity, academic rigor, performance and discovery. These elements of learning produce critical thinkers who cooperatively work together in small groups and as individuals in acquiring knowledge at their highest potential. In addition, we encourage social interactions that advocate independence, confidence and a competitive spirit necessary for optimum learning.
