Sardis aims to produce students who are productive and motivated citizens. Our objective is to recognize each child as a unique individual and strive to meet the educational needs of all our students by providing a learning environment conducive to the process of learning, while producing a young adult who will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to become an asset to his or her community; thereby enabling each one with the means to live successfully in this fast paced world of change.

Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission.
The commitment to continuous improvement is imperitive if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
Curriculum and instructional practices should incorporate a variety of learning activities to accommodate differences in learning styles.
Student learning is the chief priority for the school.
A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
Schools need to function as a learning organization and promote opportunities for all those who have a stake in the success of the school to work together as a community of learners.
