The vision for the George Bancroft School is to develop a team approach to education: a team composed of teachers, parents, and members of the community working together in support of a program of excellence for all of the young people entrusted to our care. In this fashion the school will become the center of the community and the hub of activity: a place which, through involvement and commitment, will develop in the students a sense of belonging, a spirit of community, and a desire for excellence.
