Cannon School

[EduCativ]

Established in 1969, Cannon School is a junior kindergarten through grade 12 independent college preparatory school. More than 980 students and 100 full-time faculty members make up our learning community. Just as our educational philosophy of adaptive expertise defines how we teach and learn, our core values of courage, teamwork, respect, integrity, passion, and kindness inform how we create a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for students at every grade level. "Go Beyond," our school motto, articulates our enduring pursuit of excellence and lifelong learning.
There could not be a more exciting time to learn about the people and programs that shape Cannon's learning experience. Please know that Cannon is a school that has dedicated itself to developing teaching practices and curricula that equip students to learn how to learn. Cannon School nurtures relationships at the heart of learning and engages the learner in a journey of growth.
The Cannon School community is excited to celebrate the unveiling of our new mission statement. It is the culmination of an intentional, inclusive, and inspiring process that involved Cannon's administration, trustees, faculty, staff, students, and parents. Throughout this process, we asked ourselves questions about our purpose, our motivation, and our legacy.
We believe that this new statement is a clarification of who we already are as a school community—one that nurtures all relationships to engage each learner in finding his or her path to growth. As we approach our 50th anniversary as a school community in 2019-2020, we look forward to living out this new statement with Cannon families and friends to support this incredible generation of young people.
The Cannon School community has the responsibility to prepare students for a world that promises to be unpredictable. Our goal is to equip this next generation with the mind and spirit habits that will provide them with the expertise to confront new situations and overcome new challenges with a steadfast resolve. In this preparation, we want our students to develop a moral center and be at home with diversity. We fully believe that students graduating from Canon will help our nation and our world become a better place.
Go Beyond. These two simple words say everything about a Cannon School education. They go right to the heart of the school's passion for excellence and readiness to embrace change. They speak to our students' desire to stretch themselves beyond their comfort zones and exceed expectations in all that they do. They encapsulate the myriad ways that teachers inspire in their students a lifelong love of learning. Our school motto uses the mission statement and our core values as its base and captures the spirit and energy that inspire faculty, students, staff, and parents at Cannon.
Cannon School is a community of caring and thoughtful people. Our faculty and staff understand that teaching and learning happen best in an environment built on trust and support. Cannon students -- knowing that their teachers, advisors, and coaches care about them – commit to the journey of intellectual growth and discovery. Along the way, Cannon students take on challenges. They take risks. They explore. Sometimes they experience success. Sometimes they fail. But always, their goal is to grow.Established in 1969, Cannon School is a junior kindergarten through grade 12 independent college preparatory school.
