Vision
For all Charlotte Mason Community School students to grow in a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom, for their good and the good of their communities.
Mission
To provide a Christian liberal arts education that fosters the development of great minds and wide interests while nurturing each child’s relationship to God and the world He created.
CORE VALUES
PEOPLE FIRST
Because they are created in the image of God, people have intrinsic value, purpose and worth. They come before programs and agendas and outcomes. Rather, they are the outcome. Students, teachers, staff, families, our community - they matter and we will always make choices based around that truth. We strive to be one of the best schools in Detroit, not for our sake, but because education is the gateway to so much for these amazing children.
LIBERAL ARTS
Following the philosophies of Charlotte Mason (a revolutionary British educator who stood against utilitarian education) we will champion a living education that encompasses the growth of the whole child. We will encourage a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom for the good of our students and their communities, while engaging them in a challenging liberal arts education.
EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE
In a world that increasingly commodifies people - especially children and particularly those in urban areas - we will provide an urban education that counteracts social inequality. We will break down barriers of means and circumstance to make an enriching education available to any and all.
