The mission of Mountain View Core Knowledge School is to stimulate wonder and curiosity, engage the mind, and promote vision and understanding of the world to all students.  Goals include giving students the opportunity to maximize potential by exposure to a common foundation of an organized body of knowledge sequentially presented by grade level.  Character values including integrity, respect, responsibility, and compassion will be strongly encouraged.  The school achieves these goals through emphasis on a structured educational philosophy, strong encouragement of parental involvement, and commitment to treating each child as a unique individual in a safe environment.
