Guiding Philosophy

Here at Bill & Rosemary Vassiliadis Elementary School, we believe that the role we play greatly determines the success of children in the present and throughout their academic life. Therefore, we strive to get them ready for career success through innovative shared leadership and methods that encourage the best learning outcomes.

Our students are equipped with unique skills that prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century. However, funding challenges sometimes prevent us from acquiring all the skills and materials necessary for first class education.

That informs the need for us to raise funds and grants from donors to support our art, steam, technology and physical education programs. We routinely partner with businesses and donors who share our vision for education.
