Merritt Academy Vision Statement

Our vision is that students leave school with:

• A set of moral values – honesty, integrity, good judgment, and respect for others.
• A comprehensive set of skills and a desire for knowledge in reading, writing, mathematics, science, arts, technology and health including developing a strong self-esteem and high personal expectations.

We value the partnership which exists between school, parents, and community and the part it plays in realizing this vision.
