The mission of  Taos Charter School is to provide our community’s children with a public school educational alternative, to provide our public school teachers with the best possible educational environment in which to teach, to involve the parents and families of our students in the education of their children, and to enhance the character education of all students.

Our school will be characterized by academic achievement based on high expectations, a high level of accountability for administrators, teachers, and students, and classroom level funding that can correlate funding and achievement.

Our school will strive to ensure that each child who attends the School can achieve their highest potential in all academic areas while fostering and developing the basis for a lifelong love of learning.  Every school decision will be informed by this belief.

We will be a public charter school for theTaosValley, providing all parents in our community the opportunity to choose where and how their child is educated.  TheTaosPublicCharterSchoolrecognizes the importance of including students from all areas of our community so everyone can benefit from the school’s educational programs and environment.  The employees, parents, and community supporters of the School will work together to create an educational atmosphere conducive to high achievement for all students in our community.

Our goal is to have a collaborative school environment in which parents, students, teachers, and administrators work toward common, well-articulated goals in a situation highly supportive of challenge and innovation.  This environment then will provide the best possible setting for our children to succeed and use their acquired knowledge to help our community.
