“Inspiring a community of independent, confident, self-directed learners”

These words make up the Steller mission statement.  The staff and faculty of our school recognize our role and responsibility toward each and every student enrolled in our program.  We continue to engage in conversation about our mission, our pedagogy and our goals pursuant to the education of your young adult with this mission statement in mind.

We strive to inspire by offering challenging courses, interactive classroom learning opportunities, and by allowing students the chance to actively engage in their educational process.  We bolster their confidence by insisting that a “stand and deliver” component be built into every class, that students experience success and that they are given feedback and a chance to show academic growth at every opportunity.  We push toward self-direction to the extent the student is individually capable by sponsoring peer-taught class, SDLs and Independent Study coursework and by getting to know your student via our Advisory group and, at times, pushing them to go beyond their comfort zone.  Our goal for your child is similar to your own  to start each one on the path toward an independent, confident and self-directed future.

Please join us in our on-going conversation; attend the Monday afternoon staff meetings, subscribe to and read the Steller Flash, come to the All Community Meetings and Advisory group events, and become active in the Parent Group.  Together students, parents and staff can make for a stronger, more effective Steller.
