Blackstone Millville Regional School District | Blackstone Valley Regional |
The mission of the Blackstone-Millville Regional School District, working in partnership with the students, parents, educators, support staff and other interested citizens, is to create a community of learners dedicated to providing a program of educational excellence. Collectively, we strive to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that encourages the development of responsibility, tolerance, and respect for self and others, creativity and an enthusiasm for learning enabling each student to fulfill his/her maximum potential as a productive member of a global society. | Education is the process of developing an individual's potential. Our philosophy is to provide the individual with the academic and vocational/technical skills essential to achieve success in a productive career as well as to provide the global community with a highly qualified and prepared workforce. In order to accomplish this, BVT provides a safe learning environment with emphasis on integrating specialized vocational/technical training and academic learning. Promoting life-long learning and career development, the vocational/technical and academic staff has created "Across the Curriculum" efforts in Reading, Math, Study Strategies, and Respect. Individualized instruction recognizes diverse learning styles and incorporates the use of state-of-the-art technology so that each student can develop his/her evolving talents to the fullest. Challenging academic/vocational/technical programming is complemented by a comprehensive competency-based counseling program and a wide array of extracurricular activities. As a publicly supported institution, our approach fosters an atmosphere of tolerance, promoting equity and appreciation for diversity. Additionally, we strive to develop in our students an understanding of and a responsible commitment to the principles of freedom, respect, social justice, personal worth, economic independence, and concern for the environment. The realization of these goals would mean that each graduate would posses a confident knowledge of the fundamentals necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing, technologically oriented society. |
