Mission Statement: “First Comes Learning” is our guiding mission. From the simple statement flows a dramatic amount of information used to shape our school. In an effort to make this mission a reality, the Belle Creek Charter School must produce students with more motivation toward learning, better retention, more self esteem, more positive interpersonal relationships, and students who are more likely to succeed and continue into education/careers beyond high school. This idea fosters problemsolving,investigation, inference making,and analysis...all critical skills in today’s world. The ideal teaching environment is horizontally and vertically integrated. Students, parents and teachers working together within a framework of mutual respect and personal integrity are a basis for success in our educational system.

We ask our students to become thoughtful participants in their education and development so that they can
guide their own learning for the rest of their lives. The aim is to foster independence, responsible behavior, and wisdom. Classroom work flows from the students’ desire and choice. Students are involved in solving the problems that arise in the classroom. The teacher is a collaborator, team leader, and guide in modeling successful behavior, attitude, and values.
