The mission of Santa Monica Blvd. Community Charter School is to provide a quality education for all students, to create a learning community that involves families and that values lifelong learning and professionalism among the school staff, and to give children the skills, the self-confidence and the conceptual knowledge needed to be successful in school and beyond.

We believe that our children are able to learn as well as children in higher socio-economic classes, and that we have the capacity to ameliorate the challenges due to poverty by creating a learning environment that focuses on nurturing the development of the whole child, the family and the community.  SMBCCS views its role as a critical change agent in closing the achievement gap for our students. Our mission is focused on closing the achievement gap in a manner that, not only addresses the academic achievement that is typically measured by standardized testing, but that also addresses the habits of mind and broader content knowledge that are not normally measured. The teachers, administrators, staff and parents at Santa Monica Blvd. Community Charter School are committed to this end.
