Mission Statement

We, at Kerr-Vance Academy, strive to provide for our students an intensive liberal arts college preparatory program in a safe atmosphere where all are treated respectfully. We endeavor to maintain high expectations while actively engaging our students in learning. Further, we strive to foster intellectual curiosity, concern for others, physical development, creativity, and social and moral values.

 Core Values

High Expectations

We will be results oriented, focusing on growth and improvement in student achievement and teaching quality.

Student Engagement

Learning is not an accident. Teachers will plan and deliver lessons that authentically engage students at a high level by pushing students to extend their thinking and reaching beyond their current capacities.

Intellectual Curiosity

The school community values learning for learning’s sake. We promote learning as the vehicle for which students are prepared for a rapidly changing world. Students are encouraged to take risks, ask questions, and take initiative.

Citizenship

The school community will think globally. Students will become global citizens who make informed decisions, solve problems, and collaborate.

Compassion

The school community will demonstrate concern for others manifested in mutual respect, relationships, and service.
