Monroe Township Middle School
Philosophy & Character Education
Our Philosophy as a Middle School is to provide an environment that will nurture adolescents according to their developmental needs. During this transition period, the school will afford students the opportunity for the acquisition of essential academic skills as well as the development of a positive self-concept. Furthermore, we aim to instill in students a sense of values leading to respect for others and their differences, the ability to work with others, and a sense of responsibility for the environment and the community. It is our hope that the time spent at Monroe Township Middle School will foster life-long learning for students.
