Mission

Civicorps Schools promotes citizenship and builds a civil society by creating educational models that draw upon the power of service as a way of learning.

An educated citizenry is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Students who learn not only academic knowledge but also their potential for changing the world become capable, caring citizens.

These beliefs shape the guiding principles of Civicorps Schools and are embodied in the model we create through:

  • Academic excellence
  • Artistic literacy
  • Values, ethics, and spiritual development necessary to thoughtful citizenship in a pluralistic, democratic society
  • Service as a way of learning
  • Participation in the life of the school and the community through stewardship of the environment
  • Creative partnerships in sustaining public education
