Welcome to John Paterson School —

A Shared Vision

 

Our mission here at John Paterson School is to provide learning experiences that support, challenge, and inspire our students to meet or exceed academic, social, and physical standards. We accomplish this in a caring and collaborative environment, strengthened by diversity, where we recognize and honor each child’s development, learning style, and cultural background. Through the combined efforts of staff, students, families, and members of the Newington community, our students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to make a positive impact on our local, national and global community.

Why Newington?

 

Every day, every NPS student is actively being equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to become a contributing member of their community, while being highly prepared to thrive in life, and pursue their career or college aspirations upon graduation.

Newington Public Schools will cultivate a strong, ongoing partnership of school, family and community to ensure an equitable educational experience for all students. Our educational community will support the social/emotional and academic growth of all students. NPS students will have a strong voice within their school community and graduate with a passion for their post secondary plan and with the skills outlined in the Portrait of a Graduate.
