to the Boston Public Schools Home PageThe Beethoven Elementary School
is a Boston Public School which serves 350 children in Grades K through
5. We offer integrated Arts and Technology programs to all children. We
are an Early Literacy Initiative School and we are a NetDay '96 School.
Our vision is that the Beethoven will become a
school where children perform to the best of their abilities in all curriculum
areas. In order for optimum learning to take place, our students need to
have the confidence to risk making mistakes, accept challenges, and assume
responsibility for their learning. The teachers, while supporting individual
learning styles, will create active learning environments in which children
are able to interact thoughtfully and creatively with peers, communicate
their knowledge, and develop their problem solving skills. The Beethoven
school will be a place where children, teachers, and staff are happy, secure
and excited about their work. It will be humming with the activity and
the satisfaction that comes from working well together. It will be a place
of colleagiality, where teachers share ideas and resources and continually
seek to learn from one another. It will be a place where teachers are learners,
and children are teachers. It will be a place where parents assume important
responsibilities as members of the school community.
