What is the Galloways mission and philosophy?
The school’s mission is to develop a diverse community of learners who support the concept of solid performance, to create an environment that places a high premium on human dignity and common decency, and to instill a lifelong interest in learning. The Galloway School’s philosophy encourages academic excellence while maintaining a student-centered focus. Our students set and achieve goals based on individual striving for excellence rather than in competition with others. Students at Galloway pursue a strong academic curriculum and are guided by teachers and staff to make their own decisions about their education. The value placed on the unique qualities of each child is reflected in small classes, personal interaction between students and teachers, and flexibility in planning the best learning approach. Teaching and learning is a community enterprise: students, faculty, administration and parents are all partners in this venture.
