Mission Statement
The mission of CDCPS is to provide a kindergarten through grade eight school that will draw upon our considerable experience in working together as a community to develop and implement a curriculum that discovers and supports the special characteristics and unique learning styles of each student.
Description
Vision
We will engage that student in meaningful learning experiences for clearly stated goals in the areas of understanding, knowledge, skills, habits, and social competencies. The school will reinforce the positive aspects of our city: its culture, art and economy, working-class history, and strong work ethic. Our educational philosophy, curriculum, and teaching methods are informed by an understanding that learning takes place in the context of family and that family must be supported in ways that make learning for the child possible.
CDCPS comprises three distinct school divisions:
- Gateway
- Prospect
- R. Kingman Webster
Each division serves 400 students in grades PreK-8, at sites across Lawrence. Independent of the local school committee, CDCPS is governed by a Board of Trustees who ensure the school is faithful to its charter, an academic success and is organizationally viable.
