The Freetown and Lakeville School District exists to provide all children with a safe haven to develop intellectually, emotionally, artistically, socially and athletically in an environment that stresses tolerance and understanding. This environment fosters respect for the diversity of our school community. We are also mindful of our responsibility to establish an ethical approach to learning in all of our students. Our communities recognize and respond to the diverse human needs of students and consider developmental differences, individual strengths, human frailties and ambitions of our students and families. As we focus on student learning, we recognize the reality that our students must be life-long learners who are enabled to succeed in a global society as invested citizens.
