Our Mission

Bel Aire School Mission

Bel Aire Elementary School is a community of learners and collaborators. We practice habits of mind to support learning (growth-mindset, resilience, perseverance and collaboration) and kindness (mindfulness, gratitude, compassion and inclusivity). We set goals and take accountability for our learning by understanding learning targets and success criteria. We make friends and resolve conflicts because we are peacemakers and change agents.
