Promise of a Graduate

Amphitheater Public Schools' Promise of a Graduate is a visionary expression of the qualities and skills the district seeks to develop in all students who earn a diploma from the Amphitheater school district.

The Promise of a Graduate contains eight areas that are important to ensure that students complete their school experience, are ready for college and their careers, and are prepared to contribute to the world around them. They are Scholarship, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Problem-Solving, Collaboration, Citizenship, and Caring.

The Amphitheater School District community came together to create this vision for our students' futures. Please take a moment to review each component of the Promise of a Graduate and join us on this exciting educational journey.

SCHOLARSHIP

Amphitheater students are provided academic experiences using a variety of teaching methods, with instruction tailored to their needs. The District bases curriculum and instruction on proven approaches with an eye toward innovation. Teachers are highly qualified professionals who are experts in their subject matter and are trained in how to teach all children.

CREATIVE THINKING

In every Amphitheater school, students learn to use a wide range of techniques to generate, develop and evaluate ideas. Students are encouraged to take creative risks, follow curiosities and put their ideas into action. Imagination, creativity and innovation are valued, and are considered vital to achieving growth that reaches across all academic disciplines.

CRITICAL THINKING

Students at Amphitheater learn to research, identify and analyze information and use those skills to make sound judgments and employ effective reasoning. Teachers help students develop skills in scientific inquiry, the engineering design process and logic to understand and evaluate material and apply this thinking in the real world.
