Our Mission 

  • The mission of Forestville Elementary School is to provide each child with a learning environment which: promotes academic achievement; develops a positive regard for self and others; stimulates intellectual curiosity; encourages the use of technology; and instills a sense of productive, responsible citizenship with an increasingly diverse society.
  • The core of Forestville School's program is a strong general education foundation which emphasizes instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, health, a nd the arts. The program recognizes and respects the developmental needs and patterns of children and provides an emotionally and physically healthful environment for them.
  • Further, Forestville's staff is dedicated to offering learning experiences which are both challenging and tailored, so students can develop independence and find success. We believe that all learning experiences must contribute to the development of the child's fullest potential in every domain - personally, socially, academically, aesthetically, and physically.
  • We believe that the collaborative efforts, talents, and energy of parents and staff must always focus on the accomplishment of this vital mission.
