Mission Statement
What we believe…
The mission of Olympian High School, a leading school in the State of California, is that every graduate of Olympian High School will qualify and be academically ready for success in a four college or university through a coherent system of learning.
In order to achieve this goal, Olympian High School has adopted three habits of mind which are essential to students’ success in post-secondary education and are stressed throughout each student's coursework. These are:
- Metacognition
- Intellectual Perseverance
- Intellectual Curiosity
Additionally, Olympian High School prepares its students for college or university by teaching common skills in each content area known as "College Readiness Skills". Prior to the official opening of the school, Olympian's first principal, Mr. John DeVore, worked with San Diego State University's Professor Liane Bryson. They determined that university students use six commonly used skills used for their overall success at the college level, which are:
- Description
- Summary
- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Relate and Apply
- Evaluation
In support of our school’s mission, we also provide students:
- A diverse set of learning experiences that will meet the academic and career needs of all students
- A school-wide Academic Literacy Plan (a common set of college readiness skills and habits of mind)
- A systematic network of student support
- A student-centered learning community that promotes leadership, involvement, integrity and respect
