Looking
through the lens of an independent school educator - leader, I know that although each independent school has its own purposefully crafted mission statement, frequently the statements share a lexicon that include words and phrases such as: character, academic, empower, passions, potential, lifelong commitment, individual growth, social responsibility, ethical,
effective citizenship, inclusive, respect, service, inspire, courage, and leaders.
NETS - S focus on six core technology competencies that support

The program aims to give students
effective strategies to help them lead happy and successful lives
through developing positive self - esteem and care for others, and establishing good
citizenship in the developing years.
