Elementary – Middle School
The building blocks for life-long learning are established early in life. Research shows a significant correlation between important educational milestones and future academic success. The predictive capacity of meeting “on-track” academic milestones and the strong association to later outcomes is why focusing on this age span is important to Corning Promise. Teachers, qualified and high-quality are one of the most important factors influencing students’ achievement.
Our Corning Promise Vision
Corning Promise envisions a vibrant system of elementary and middle schools. Students, with inherent curiosity and love of knowledge, are supported by caring, innovative and engaged educators who partner with them to build strong academic foundations that prompt a life-long love of learning.
