The Washburne-Skokie Middle School Campus

Our Mission Statement

The Carleton W. Washburne School and the Skokie School are dedicated to providing our students with a strong, comprehensive core of academics, experiences in the fine arts, guidance in well-being and physical education, and the development of an attitude that learning is a life-long process. Integrated learning is a hallmark aimed at developing the student's ability to discover, to interpret critically, and to understand connections between ideas. We are committed to diversity in learning styles. Through these diversities, our hope is that students will develop the powers of intelligence through applications of reflective observation and critical analysis, experience opportunities for choice and decision making, and develop and enhance the art of questioning.
