About Our School

At Birchwood Elementary School we strive to develop knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, principled, and action-oriented young people. We want Birchwood students to become internationally-minded individuals who help create a better world.

To that end, we commit ourselves to:

• Build a community where students, families, and staff collaborate with each other to help students realize their academic, creative, social, and physical potential
• Act with integrity and honesty
• Take on new challenges, learn to be resourceful and resilient, and use these skills to become lifelong learners
• Become caring, compassionate, and respectful people who have a global understanding of the world
• Make balanced and healthy choices in our lives to achieve well-being for ourselves and others
• Develop teamwork skills and share our learning with others
