The Administration and staff of School 22 is firmly committed to the emotional, academic, and social development of each child. The purpose of our school is to nurture each student’s unique potential, enabling them to become lifelong learners. Our students become academically prepared for a successful future through the use of technology, Targeted Instruction, and prescriptive diagnostic learning strategies. They become aware of their responsibilities in the global community through cultural awareness programs and business-partnerships. Our school’s motto, “Respect Others, Yourself, and Learn,” teaches our students that learning occurs when you respect yourself and others first. Students in PreK through 6th grade pride themselves in being a member of our “Royal” School 22 family.
