| Our Mission Spalding Drive Charter - Committed to providing an excellent education with the belief and expectation that all students will learn, achieve, and succeed. Provide the best! Expect the best! We believe: - All students can learn, achieve and succeed. - Students learn in different ways. - A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning. - A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships, and mutual respect among and between students and staff. - Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. With this aim in mind, Spalding Drive Charter provides a stimulating, secure and nurturing environment for its culturally diverse student population. Our staff diligently works to instill an eagerness for learning that will continue throughout the students' school experiences and adult lives. Read our Key Assets here! 
Spalding is strong on technology! This is a first grade class using our wireless laptop computer lab.  Spalding's morning Math Clubs are a fun way to start the learning day.

Principal's message It is my belief that all children who are enrolled in public or private school systems have the right to be exposed as completely as possible to educational experiences and opportunities, which result in the formation of lifelong learners. Every school should become a community of learners. I believe that educators, parents, and students should practice and model the learning process until it becomes second nature. A lifelong learner values the learning process and is able to assimilate knowledge for the sake of self-improvement. If the educational system produces lifelong learners, then we have journeyed much closer to the goal of creating productive, problem solving citizens who can function in a global, technological society.
