At the 51st Ave. Academy, our vision is to create a school community where teachers are instrutional leaders, who work collaboratively in a risk-free learming environment that is safe, stimulating, and challenging. Our learning community will enable our pupils to take their places as active and responsible members of our society and the world, embracing the cultural privileges of American citizenship while retaining pride in their ethnic heritage. Our mission is to organize and utilize all resources to address the needs of our entire school community. All students, faculty, parents, and members of the community will consistently achieve optimum learning for everyone through reflective dialogue and shared best practices. We commit to this endeavor by focusing on each student and customizing diferentiated instruction that is based on standards and integrated in the arts and technology to ensure academic excellence for all our pupils.
