Our Mission:
It is the mission of the Caledonia Central Supervisory Union and its seven member schools to create a learning community in which each individual can achieve the highest standards of excellence in intellectual growth and citizenship.

Teaching and Learning at Twinfield School:
At Twinfield, we design and implement high-quality instruction that is relevant to students’ lives and encourage them to take an active role in guiding their education. We live our values of being respectful, responsible, inclusive, determined, and engaged through all elements of instruction to strongly emphasize authenticity, culture and relationships, curiosity, creativity, and design.

We strive to ensure that all students are engaged and active learners within a culture of inclusion that values them as contributing members of our school community. We approach students through a lens of inquiry, honoring their voices, questions, curiosity, and creativity. We see school as an extension of our broader local and global communities, where students have the opportunity to grapple with questions that are important both locally and globally, creating active and engaged citizens.

We prepare students to be leaders and contributors to their community, and we ask educators to help students create and implement high-quality work that is rigorous and relevant.
