Our School Mission
We at The School of Integrated Learning guide our families and school community individually and collectively towards an education that crosses disciplinary, cultural, national and geographical boundaries, and that champions critical engagement, stimulating ideas and meaningful relationships while awakening and nurturing interests and talents.
Our School Vision
Our vision for The School of Integrated Learning is to form a “Professional Learning Community” where as a “team” we do “whatever it takes” to ensure academic and emotional success for our students and all members of our families and school community.
Our Creed
At The School of Integrated Learning Middle School 354, we believe in the regenerative power of education.
Like our symbol the Phoenix, we rise brilliantly from the ashes of our ignorance.
Knowing that success comes through resiliency, we will always follow the rules, make good choices and learn something new everyday.
Instructional Focus
To strengthen the instructional core,
the principal will provide all staff with professional learning on research based practices, strategies, and protocols aligned to student needs through a shared and inclusive curriculum to increase the rigor of instruction, and engage students to higher cognitive levels.
We will provide students with ample opportunities for inquiry, discourse, critical thinking and engagement in collaborative activities to become knowledgeable global citizens.
