Mission Statement
Sunset Park Avenues Elementary School is dedicated to the education and development of each child, as they become leaders in their academic and personal lives. Students will graduate with the ability to use language to communicate and connect with the wealth of cultures we have in our community. Learning in an environment that emphasizes asking questions and hands-on exploration, our children will grow to be curious about their world, think creatively and flexibly about problems and solutions, and have the confidence to make things happen for themselves and their world.
Vision
At Sunset Park Avenues, our entire community strives to ensure that all students experience an education that allows for each unique individual to thrive in a global community - academically, socially, and emotionally. Learning through a curriculum based in exploration and independent practice with the support of expert teachers, our students grow to be curious about their world, think creatively and flexibly about problems and solutions, and have the confidence and resilience to make things happen for themselves and their world.
We celebrate and integrate the multi-lingual and multi-cultural heritage of our students, families, and neighborhood into our classrooms, preparing our students to belong to and succeed in a global society.
