At Steelesview we believe that:

• a welcoming supportive and secure environment promoted by both the staff and students encourages maximum student achievement
• each student is an individual with his or her own strengths, interests, needs and learning style and programming should reflect these characteristic learning styles
• the focus of the curriculum is to develop a strong foundation of academic skills, life skills and social skills to prepare students for the future
• the development of higher thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and technological skills is an ongoing process throughout all of the areas of the curriculum
• students should have a variety of opportunities and experiences in which to meet with success at school
• students from all cultures contribute to and benefit from our school community
• effective programs are delivered when teachers, parents, and students communicate and work cooperatively
