Overview
Mission
Corwin-russell school at broccoli hall has a single goal. Rooted in the latin "educare," we define ourselves as leading students to discover and develop the best in themselves: academically, creatively, socially, personally. In an environment centered in connectedness, we engage students in their own progress, and force them to believe in their futures. Through involvement in thinking, learning, communicating and evaluating, we build resourcefulness and self-responsibility. Through an uncommon depth of caring, we instill the confidence to risk unlocking interests, talents, academic and personal potential. We set each student on the road to discovering his or her true value.
