Chatsworth School will provide a nurturing, challenging, safe learning environment in which students will learn concepts and skills as outlined by the Maryland State Content Standards/Voluntary Curriculum. Progress will be measured through ongoing, meaningful assessment and standardized tests. Schoolwide instructional strategies and support services will be implemented to help students meet or exceed state standards and achieve to their highest potential.

The Chatsworth School will be a professional learning community where teachers are not only members of a team, but also highly qualified leaders, skilled in utilizing modern research based best practices and sharing expertise on a school-wide level.

What we will see as we reach our vision:

Each member of our professional community working collaboratively to take responsibility for the success of all of our students.

The teachers presenting meaningful, challenging curriculum where students have multiple ways to acquire and master learning and demonstrate their mastery.

Learning connected to the larger world through experiences that are personal and have real life application.

Technology incorporated as an integral part of the learning experience.

A decrease in the achievement gap among our diverse learners.

Teachers coaching and mentoring each other to support improvement in learning through best instructional practices.

Evidence of social growth as students work together in an inclusionary and multi-age environment.

High standards being set for all students as they become prepared to be life-long learners.

Students, teachers, parents, and the community at large working collaboratively to ensure school-wide success.

An increase in community service opportunities for students.

The PDS partnership between Chatsworth School and Villa Julie College enhancing the educational program for all students.
