Mission & Vision
OUR MISSION
Ross Woodward Classical Studies Magnet School places an emphasis on the classical tradition of educating the whole child. We encourage an appreciation for the universal principles of truth, justice, honesty, and respect. We support a rigorous classical curriculum through which students engage in studies of great work over time. In pursuit of excellence, Ross Woodward focuses learning on that which is timeless and of lasting significance.
OUR VISION
We provide various forums for students to explore great works through a critical lens in order to become analytic thinkers who participate in substantive conversations to build a connection between the past, the present and the world of tomorrow.
