Bath Village School is committed to the ideal that education is the right of all American children. Our democratic society can neither endure nor effectively function unless each member is encouraged to be an active and informed citizen.

Our children are our most important natural resource and the development of their diverse capabilities; skills, competencies and values are our primary responsibility.

Children are born with different capabilities to learn and grow. Our task is to respect these differences, to encourage their individual expression and to motivate their continuous growth and development.

Bath Village School is committed to the educational, physical, social and cultural education of all its students. Our faculty strives to foster the independent roles of democratic citizenship, to encourage the fullest development of our students' mental, physical and social capabilities and to teach each child to read, write, speak, research, reason and form conclusions and judgments which will enable him/her to live a happy, healthy and productive life.
