The vision of the Norton Academy and the Lewis Center for Educational Research is to ensure that all students achieve and sustain high levels of academic, linguistic, and multicultural competency, and are essentially prepared for 21st century global citizenship.


In order to create and develop a highly effective school community, we have shaped our planning and

implementation around a set of Core Principles


PPRRIINNCCIIPPLLEESS--BBAASSEEDD PPLLAANNNNIINNGG AANNDD IIMMPPLLEEMMEENNTTAATTIIOONN

!! No one size fits all !! Core values and general themes are distilled and

articulated to guide growth and reform !! As a school we take these values and themes and

adapt and apply them to their own contexts

!! It involves making meaning of the principles, and a learning and creative collaborative process


Core Principles!
