Mission and Vision Statements

BELL Academy is a unique learning environment that offers each  student an opportunity to find and develop his or her individual  profile of gifts and talents. Based on the School-wide Enrichment  Model (SEM), developed by Drs. Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis at  the University of Connecticut, the major goal of the school is to  provide challenging, in-depth, real-world learning experiences for  all students. Our collaborative school culture focuses on the  development of talents in all students and provides a broad range  of advanced-level enrichment. Instructional technology integrated  through all subject areas will ensure students develop the necessary  skills to be prepared for the demands of the 21st century. The  school culture celebrates individuality, creativity, and diversity to  develop creative problem solvers who are successful and believe  they can make a difference in the world. As a community of  learners, BELL Academy is committed to inspiring a passion for  learning and civic responsibility, one student at a time.

Together, we are BELL Strong!

BELL Academy students will graduate having realized their individual profile of gifts and talents, thus fostering their passion for learning. Through the celebration of individual identities and cultures, our students will feel “seen,” therefore benefiting from the emotional safe spaces that foster their civic responsibility and develop their sense of community. Our students will use their experiences with challenging, in-depth, collaborative, real-world learning experiences to be prepared for the demands of the 21st century.
