Mission Statement

At Arcadia Neighborhood Learning Center, we are a community of learners with a unifying bond of commitment between students, teachers, and parents.

- We believe in the power of collaboration and in the intrinsic worth of every person.
- We celebrate each person's quest for knowledge by respecting each step and learning from one another.
- We believe that all people have an innate curiosity about the world and can be highly motivated, self-directed learners when challenged by meaningful, significantly worth while pursuits.
- We believe in a diverse cultural and socioeconomic community where each person's uniqueness is respected and celebrated.
- We believe that growth and learning are processes that are best facilitated within caring relationships.

Our mission is to help each person realize the joy of being a life-long learner with the ability to extend their own knowledge by producing original conversation, and writing: thinking complexly; solving problems creatively; working cooperatively, and assuming responsibility as a contributor and producer within the community.
