1 Mission Statement
We, Senja videregående skole, find it important to give a varied educational offer. A diverse body of students gives the opportunity to an exciting and developing learning environment for both students and teachers. We will, through good dialogue and a respectful positive attitude, create a good working environment.
We want to facilitate our students in obtaining the best results possible. We will continuously work in developing and practicing a range of teaching and learning methods that contribute to each student receiving an education that is suited to his or her aspirations, abilities and needs. Our students are important contributors in our planning and are given responsibilities and duties.
Dialogue and cooperation are important features of our teaching and learning environment. We place our students in the core of our thinking. Our students are active contributors, and our teachers are inspiring, monitoring, knowledgeable pedagogues who are well-respected.
Senja videregående skole’s pedagogical platform is based on our slogan “MMS”:
M
Mangfold
(Diversity)
M
Mestring
(Excellence)
S
Samhold
(Unity)
Diversity through an international school environment by respecting other people’s values and traditions. Diversity also means that each and every one of us is unique and that people with their differences can also be right.
Excellence through strong academic tradition; by maintaining high standards (highly qualified teaching staff as well as high academic achievement standards); by helping and aiding students to achieve their academic goals through focusing on approaches to teaching and approaches to learning.
Unity: Senja videregående skole wants to be a school with good relations between all groups in our organization. We interact with each other in a positive manner. We focus on bringing people together and creating good learning environments with emphasis on student democracy.
As learning community, we develop individuals and groups in the school environment as inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflected.
