Mission 
 
      To develop well educated, community-minded children by providing  high-quality, community-based education that capitalizes on the diversity of  nearby neighborhoods and uses the resources of Patterson Park.


Vision
      Our vision for educating students at Patterson Park Public Charter School is  to unite students, parents, guardians, educators, and the Patterson Park area  through an educational environment that rewards creativity and builds community  ties. Strong academic standards and community/arts-related partnerships will
encourage students to become independent and responsible thinkers. Patterson  Park Public Charter School aspires to socioeconomic, racial and ethnic diversity  in its student population and will incorporate the many attendant cultures into  its curriculum and daily life.

Core Values

Picture
     The core value of PPPCS is excellence; excellence that pervades all  aspects of the school’s existence: academic, social, physical, and cultural. It  is an excellence that is reflected in high test scores; but also in
parent, student and staff satisfaction and enthusiasm; in the school’s
reputation; in the socioeconomic and racial diversity of its students and staff;  in the quality of its facilities; in the role that the school plays in the community and in the quality of its partnerships.
PPPCS is an educational model that exceeds state standards while giving  maximum academic growth to every single student. We emphasize community, culture and civility; which when combined with our academic program provides students  the best opportunity for a happy and productive adult life.

      PPPCS strengthens Baltimore City by offering a high quality education that  attracts a diverse community and keeps families in the neighborhood. We are redefining urban education, providing a private-school-like education at public  school prices; giving inner city kids the chance of a lifetime and proving that  academic achievement is a function of the quality of education, not of the
student’s background.
