York Schools' Mission
Our schools strive to educate each student to become the most he or she can be. This requires the partnership of home, school, and community. Our mission incorporates York's Guiding Principles, (based on Maine's Learning Results), that each student will be:

A Clear and Effective Learner
             A Self-Directed and life-Long Learner
               A Creative and Practical Problem Solver
       A Responsible and Involved Citizen
        A Collaborative and Quality Worker
          An Integrative and Informed thinker

Mission Statement

    The mission of Coastal Ridge Elementary School is to educate children intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially by recognizing individual differences, promoting self-esteem and fostering respect for others. Teachers and students work to maximize the potential of each child. Our safe, child-centered environment encourages dialogue among all participants, essential to the active learning process. We strive to develop an educational partnership among family, school, and community. All members collectively provide a foundation for children to become responsible, productive citizens
