Mission and Vision

All Maryland students excel in rigorous and relevant schools

Students and their families have equitable access to high-quality opportunities and resources.

We believe that everyone deserves educational excellence and that we should use an equity lens to achieve it, prioritizing underserved students and families.

Teachers and school leaders are well-supported and effective.

We believe that educators are critical to student success and that we must recruit, prepare, support and retain great teachers for every classroom and great leaders for every school.

Schools are rigorous and relevant, both academically and culturally.

We believe that our schools must be designed to help all students excel. Schools should hold high expectations for every student, and offer services tailored to the unique assets and needs of each learner.
