Mission

Our Mission at The Ella Fitzgerald Academy for Excellence is to engage in lifelong learning by exploring our cultures and talents while learning about other cultures and promoting the value of acceptance in our community.  As a school community, we build upon our understanding and compassion for others. We celebrate the total development of each child focusing on their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical well-being. Our Mission statement embodies Culturally Responsive Education.  The Ella Fitzgerald Academy will continue to implement resources that encompass diverse cultural perspectives for the purpose of establishing an inclusive space that encourages cultural identity development through affirming race, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, ability level, and any other differentiator.
