Philosophy of Education
The Glocester School Department's primary purpose is to provide an educational environment, which gives all students a sound basic education. Recognizing the diversity of student potential and interest, we will persistently strive to meet student needs. Glocester's education can and will provide more than basic and marketable skills.

We believe that Glocester's youth have a right to a quality education. This right involves the duty of sincere, responsible, and respectful effort and behavior on the part of students and staff. Local government officials, School Committee members, community leaders, parents and staff shall contribute to the attitudes of students by showing respect for each other and demonstrating other qualities inherent in good citizenship.

The Glocester School Department shall strive to select and employ the best-qualified people and to assist in the development of each student's intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth and stability. The resources for obtaining and maintaining excellent educational standards shall be provided.

The Glocester School Department will additionally establish high standards for its professional members and will apply fair treatment in all of its relationships with every person inside and outside of the school system.
