Mission & Vision
At The Whitfield School, we envision a world where students not only achieve academic success but also become engaged citizens who contribute to the common good. Our experiential approach to education helps students develop the intellectual dexterity and personal resilience needed to thrive in college, career, and life.
MISSION: A small school community committed to kindness and trust, Whitfield inspires a diverse student body to lead lives of curiosity, integrity, and purpose.
VISION: To empower young people to discover and become their best selves.
Together, these two statements reaffirm touchstone The Whitfield School values: community and trust, kindness and integrity. These words and ideas are at the heart of what we do, and we heard from all constituencies that they needed to be at the heart of our Mission and Vision. At the same time, these statements clarify our commitments to diversity and to providing a “small school” experience–to know each child and meet them where they are.
They also clarify that the Whitfield experience is about discovery–talents and passions–and transformation–intellectual, social, emotional. Whitfield is about inspiring and empowering young people to become their best selves, to lead lives of meaning and purpose.
