Mission Statement

Through positive nurturing and guidance, the Rafer Johnson Community Day School is committed to promoting a safe learning environment and developing positive values and personal responsibilities by increasing appropriate social behavior and academic achievement. While nurturing students’ capacity to think skillfully and critically, we strive to deepen their commitment to prosaically values such as kindness, helpfulness, personal responsibility, empathy, honesty, self-control, and respect for others – qualities we believe are essential to leading balanced and productive lives. The fundamental goal is the return of the student to their comprehensive school setting.
