Our Educational Philosophy:

Our focus will be on understanding and addressing the impact of trauma and adverse experiences on student behavior, ensuring that all learners receive the support they need to thrive. We will work collaboratively to refine and expand our curriculum, including social-emotional learning, and engage families to support our diverse student population.

As Biddeford evolves, our schools will adapt to meet the needs of a younger, more diverse community, aiming to enhance both academic and social-emotional outcomes for all students.
