Statement of Philosphy

Williams Township School encompasses grades PK-8. Our mission is to create a family-like atmosphere among all of our educational stakeholders. From the family-like atmosphere arises love for each student and concern for the well-being and effective education of each one. We believe that each student in WIlliams Township School is a unique individual with basic intellectual, physical, emotional, and social needs and has the right to feel loved and needed.

The school and the community share the continuous process of education that will prepare each student for a purposeful and productive place in our changing democratic society. Because the professional personnel are accountable to the students, the parents, and the community, teachers should possess specialized skill and knowledge in the areas of their instruction and dedication to continuing study to improve their techniques.

Teachers and staff with the support of the community, must encourage students to behave in the same courteous, honest, and responsible manner toward fellow students and teachers that they are expected to extend toward society in general. In this positive environment, a student can mature in the self-understanding, responsibility, and decision-making skills needed to develop a positive self-image and to set realistic goals.
