Mission and Vision

Our Mission
At Unbound Stockton we work to UNDERSTAND ourselves and our role in the community. We develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences that allow us to choose how to UNPACK and UNDO the systems that have divided us and, by learning together, UNLOCK the potential of an UNBOUND Community.

Our Vision

To be Unbound: A diverse community actively learning and engaging across lines of difference.

Our Commitments

Integrated Community.

We build intentionally diverse, welcoming, and equitable learning communities reflective of the societies we wish to see. We affirm all identities and work to celebrate differences while unpacking ideas of division to learn and live in an integrated world.

We put relationships first and develop social-emotional competencies to build a strong, safe, and supportive space for all students, staff, and families.

Enduring Success.

Instruction reflects high expectations, inspires curiosity, builds critical skills and promotes deeper thinking. Teaching not only includes knowledge and skills but the abilities to collaborate in a 21st-century society.

We ensure equity in outcomes and in educating all students, using various methods of personalization, so all students have the opportunity to pursue their passions.

Community Partnership.

We support students in their personal identity development, helping them to understand who they are and how they see themselves in the world around them. We understand our community context allowing students to understand how to confidently navigate our world.

Using both affinity learning spaces and mixed learning spaces, students learn to solve problems for themselves, the collective, and the community.
