About
Mission
We provide a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment in which the unique academic, intellectual, social, ethical, emotional, and physical growth of each learner can be realized.
Core Values
- Achievement: We provide an education that develops the whole child by engaging each child’s academic, social, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
- Inclusivity: We appropriately challenge, support, and value every member of our learning community as a contributing participant, and seek multiple perspectives.
- Community: We encourage authentic and caring connections and collective responsibility in order to collaboratively solve problems.
- Empathy: We instill curiosity and appreciation for diverse viewpoints, promote collaborative and courageous conversations, and take personal responsibility (through self-reflection and self-correction) for intent and impact.
- Both/And: We know that multiple things can be true, reject false binaries, and are open to creative solutions.
Vision of the Bedford Public Schools
As educators within the Bedford Public Schools, we aspire to be a collaborative school system in partnership with the community and families that develops curious, engaged, resilient, empathetic, and kind learners. Our students are creative and critical thinkers, and who apply knowledge, act responsibly, and make meaningful contributions.
Bedford is a residential community of approximately 13,000 people whose history dates back to 1664, located fifteen miles northwest of Boston. A typical New England town in architecture, character, government and tradition, Bedford is proud of its historic past. The Bedford Public Schools is a small system of approximately 2400 students. The schools include Bedford High School (9-12), John Glenn Middle School (6-8), Lt. Job Lane School (3-5), and Lt. Eleazer Davis School (PreK-2). The Lt. Eleazer Davis School was built in 1999. Bedford High School, the John Glenn Middle School, and the Lt. Job Lane School have recently undergone complete addition/renovations. The student body reflects an increasing diversity with students from Bedford, Hanscom Air Force Base, and Boston (the latter via METCO, a volunteer desegregation program).
