Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

Community Charter School of Cambridge is committed to eliminating inequities in educational access and opportunity. As a welcoming, safe, and trusting community of lifelong learners, we champion and challenge the whole student through high expectations, engaging and evidence-based instruction, and individualized support. Our students and alumni build meaningful relationships as they grow into critical, compassionate, and reflective thinkers who make positive contributions while nurturing their passions.

Our Values

Belonging

We fundamentally believe that it is essential for every student to experience a deep sense of belonging and know that they are valued. We believe that warm, welcoming, and motivating relationships are at the heart of CCSC’s learning environment and that joy, trust, safety, and love are what allow our community to grow and blossom.

 

Equity

We lead with courage. We recognize the complexities within our differences, and believe in the power of education to identify, defy, and eliminate systemic inequalities. We challenge ourselves to grow into compassionate, brave, independent thinkers who will advocate for transformative change and justice for ourselves, our communities, and the world.

 

Growth

We encourage an environment where stepping up to do hard things and taking intellectual risks is celebrated. We hold ourselves accountable to learning from mistakes and asking discerning questions so we can deepen our lifelong critical thinking skills.

 

Achievement

We are committed to ensuring students are fully prepared to develop and reach their goals. In order to achieve this, we commit to providing a rigorous, high standards, quality education that supports academic excellence. This enables our students to excel in college and career and for us all to become confident, joyful, and active members of our communities.
