Mission
THE SALK SCHOOL'S MISSION IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUNG PEOPLE'S NATURAL CURIOSITY AND TO ENGAGE THEM IN LEARNING THAT IS PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL, SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE, AND ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP THE HABITS OF MIND OF VARIOUS EXPERTS AND BECOME LIFELONG LEARNERS WHO ARE REFLECTIVE, CREATIVE AND INDEPENDENT THINKERS BY HAVING THEM ENGAGE WITH POWERFUL IDEAS ACROSS THE CONTENT AREAS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HELP STUDENTS THINK CRITICALLY AND SOLVE PROBLEMS TO IMPROVE THEIR COMMUNITIES. COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE AND EQUITY, WE SEEK TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS FOR THE CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
