The China Schools, in partnership with families and community, are committed to the task of preparing our children for the world of the future. It is the responsibility of the schools to provide a positive, safe educational environment that fosters individual growth and empowers students to become lifelong learners and responsible members of the global community. Our schools' mission is to provide each child with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and ideals that will enable the student to live a successful, happy, healthy, and productive life.

To fulfill this mission, we will endeavor to:

 Meet the common needs of all students, while recognizing and addressing their unique differences.

 Promote physical health, emotional well-being, and intellectual curiosity.

 Challenge all students to develop positive self-images, to appreciate their own uniqueness, and to recognize the value of other individuals.

 Encourage awareness and appreciation of the value of the fine arts and humanities in human development and as an essential component of a fulfilling lifestyle.

 Stimulate students to acquire a high level of literacy that reflects a strong knowledge base.

 Assist students in developing technological, problem solving, and research skills that provide a foundation for adapting to the needs of a rapidly changing society.

 Develop knowledge and appreciation of our community and encourage civic responsibility as well as stewardship of our local and global resources.

 Prepare students to make responsible decisions that contribute to the common good and strengthen our democratic ideals.
