Our Mission
We, the schools of Chester, Deep River, Essex and Region 4, engage all students in a rigorous, challenging, and cohesive educational program. As a community of learners, we foster individual student achievement and empower students to excel in an environment of collaboration, responsibility, and mutual respect. We prepare our students to be knowledgeable, involved citizens in a rapidly changing world.


Core Beliefs

Teaching: We believe in high academic standards in an environment where all students are challenged, supported, and engaged.

Learning: We believe that all students can learn at high levels. Our attitudes, expectations, and effort directly impact student achievement and life-long learning.

Leadership: We believe that effective leadership exhibits all aspects of our mission and beliefs, and creates an environment of trust, cooperation, and understanding, where all members of the school community strive for continuous district-wide improvement.

Culture and Climate: We believe a safe and supportive learning environment requires a culture of collaboration, trust, open communication, tolerance, and respect for and among all stakeholders.

Community: We value every child and believe that it is the shared responsibility of the entire community to educate, support, and nurture each child. We should be held accountable for the results, for the resources provided, and for the accomplishment of our mission and goals.
