At Sussex Avenue School, highly effective teachers and school staff ensure that children are prepared for lifelong education and social participation. We, as a school community, nurture students as they aspire to achieve, become socially responsible and self-reliant, persevere, and act with integrity, respect, and excellence. Every adult takes responsibility to ensure that each student reaches their full academic, social, and personal potential. We encourage and challenge students to take risks and be creative in an intellectually safe environment.
