Welcome

“If there were ever a time to dare,
To make a difference,
To embark on something worth doing,
It is now.”
~ From the poem “Dream Big”

We believe that the students on SWIS I should experience challenge and success, growth and self-confidence, friendship, fun, and an environment that is supportive but encourages personal responsibility. We will challenge students with curriculum that not only expands their mastery of subject content, but also grows their curiosity, challenges their creativity and focuses on the development of skills that will provide the keys to lifelong achievement. While we accept the responsibility to teach in an environment that stresses testing, we will use assessments that promote quality learning and long term student success.
