At Great Oaks Charter School Bridgeport our mission is to develop the mindset of all students socially and academically through unrelenting focus on academic achievement with individualized care and support so that students will reach their maximum potential and have the skills and knowledge to prepare them for college, other career opportunities, and beyond. It is our goal that all Great Oaks Students will be able to take ownership over their academic career and consistently act on their commitment to our core values of Excellence, Perseverance, Integrity and Compassion. They will understand how the choices they make today can impact the opportunities they have in the future. They will have developed a strong sense of self and pride in their own identity, and they will use their strengths to make a positive contribution to their communities and the rest of the world.
