Warwick Public School's Graduate Profile

Vision of a Graduate

The Vision of a Graduate was developed over several sessions in guidance from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). "NEASC ask each district to develop a Vision of a Graduate along with a defined set of core values and beliefs about learning." NEASC.org The vision allows for a more holistic view of our students and delineates the necessary skills, knowledge and dispositions for students to become college and career ready. As we unpack each of the skills, we gain clarity about the learning environment and the methods and practice of teaching.
