Imagine School at North Port is a safe, disciplined and productive environment that brings choice and a balance of academic and moral education to our local community. We utilize the Imagine Schools Six Measures of Excellence as guiding principles to obtain the following for our school: Shared Values of Integrity, Justice and Fun – School stakeholders possess the ability to design their role in contributing toward their own success as well as the success of others in our school community. Our school is a place where we can develop an overarching belief that success is a possibility, and consequently take great joy in owning part of the decision making process. Academic Achievement – Students will be exposed to and challenged by a curriculum which balances fundamental skill development with critical thinking and inquiry-based acquisition of knowledge and perspective. Teachers will harness their love of children combined with a passion for learning into the creation of a pedagogy which constantly measures our daily instructional practices against what is best for our students. The school will in a thoughtful and meaningful fashion construct a path for learning and growth of our students which transcends standardized testing and fosters a skill set that ensures success inside and outside of the classroom. Positive Character Development – School staff model and instruct students in the core values required to become a moral, upstanding citizen of our nation. Students experience high expectations for moral development from the school community, and are able to learn from an effective curriculum paired with an ability to practice these values through school facilitated peer interactions, community service and student leadership opportunities. Economic Sustainability – School combines an urgent need to provide students with instructional materials and support items which will facilitate their education, with a shared understanding to prioritize our expenditures according to the needs of students, live within our budget, and model fiscal responsibility with public funds. Developing business partnerships and symbiotic relationships with the local community will assist in this effort. Parent Choice and Satisfaction – Our parents experience satisfaction due to the progress of their children. They work cooperatively with school personnel to establish goals and priorities. They feel welcomed and valued as partners in the educational process, and perennially choose our school as the best and most suitable fit for their children's educational needs. School Development – School Community concentrates on a systematic and systemic pattern of gestalt continuous improvement which entrenches our place as a beacon of high quality education within our community, with the ultimate result being a school which operates at full capacity, thereby maximizing the positive impact of our school community in the local community and surrounding area.
