Our Mission:

At Browne Education Campus educators develop rigorous, student-centered lessons aligned to the Common Core State Standards to better prepare students for success in college and future careers.  We incorporate the core values of the International Baccalaureate program to develop internationally- minded, knowledgeable, reflective, principled thinkers.  We challenge ourselves, our students, our parents, and our surrounding community to become caring, educated risk-takers who inquire and take action to create a better world.   We work to accomplish this by ensuring purposeful teaching and learning by every staff member, while maintaining high expectations for all learners in a stimulating and secure learning environment.

 

Core Values:

Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Ready

 

Motto:

To educate and inspire; to reach and transform.   Every student.  Every year.

Sixth Grade Leaders in IB

Our sixth grade leaders worked with third graders to create learner profile centered scripts. They exhibited every learner profile during their first period.

The learner profiles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program provides a long-term vision of education.  It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.

Our Browne IB learners strive to be:

 

•Inquirers

•Knowledgeable

•Thinkers

•Communicators

•Principled

•Open-minded

•Caring

•Risk-takers

•Balanced

•Reflective
