Our Mission

College and career start here! We, the educational partners at Canterbury Avenue Elementary & Gifted Magnet, envision a community where all students are future scientists, engineers, artists, musicians, and productive members of an evolving society. Educational partners collaborate to create an inclusive environment where differences are honored and shared values are embraced. Educators, parents, and students celebrate diversity in a nurturing climate where positive behavior is emphasized and supported.
