Carlisle School Co-Ed Boarding School Information:
Our Mission Boldly States:
"Carlisle School is an independent college preparatory school that provides a positive, safe environment for academic excellence and character development, while embracing diversity and preparing our students to become leaders as citizens in a global society."
In keeping with these words, Carlisle School promises all students in preschool through grade 12 a rich array of educational options. The school does its best to ensure parents that their child's potential is recognized and challenged. The school's core curriculum consists of English, history, mathematics, science, and foreign language with electives in most areas. Computer and science labs are a major part of everyday life.
Carlisle embraces the fundamental principles of international and intercultural literacy, holistic learning and education for character.
Beliefs
• The school should have a positive, safe, and comfortable environment conducive to learning.
• The school should recognize that each student has unique spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
• The school should strive to meet the individual learning needs of students.
• In pursuit of academic excellence, the school’s curriculum and program should be geared to prepare students for life as well as higher education.
• Character development is an important part of an effective education; thus, the fundamental elements of respect, courtesy, integrity, and responsibility should be emphasized.
• Everyone should be treated with equal justice and respect.
• The curriculum and program should provide opportunities for the development of critical thinking and reasoning skills so that students can become lifelong independent learners.
• A knowledge and appreciation of diversity will help students function in a constantly changing world society.
• Curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences in learning styles.
• A student’s self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff.
• Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school’s mission.
• The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
Philosophy
Carlisle School believes that the sharing of knowledge, the development of responsible and honorable behaviors, and the encouragement of lifelong learning are our primary goals. Carlisle provides a nurturing, positive, and safe environment in which everyone is treated with courtesy and respect and unafraid to take risks. We celebrate the uniqueness of every student. Our curriculum and instructional practices are designed to meet students’ individual physical, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs.
As we prepare our students for higher education, we are also preparing them for life. Academically strong programs provide a forum of inquiry and opportunities for the development of critical thinking and reasoning skills. These are balanced by school-wide practices that foster personal integrity, mutual respect, development of self-esteem, and encourage diversity.
Character development, intellectual growth, and personal reflection are the business of everyone at Carlisle. Teachers, administrators, parents, and the larger community share our mission to produce knowledgeable, confident, and caring students who will be active and responsible communicators in the changing world.
