Our School
At Ganado Intermediate School, we have goals and programs that we feel benefit the development of the whole child. We are guided by these six principles:
- Quality and effective leadership
- A safe and positive learning environment
- Superior curriculum, instruction, and assessment
- Excelling student performance
- Professional growth for our school community
- A strong school, parent, and community partnership
Foundations of Learning
In addition to our guiding principles, the Ganado Unified School District embraces a systematic improvement model called the “Ganado Foundations of Learning” wherein the Diné philosophy of lifelong learning is combined within a framework that seeks to advance student learning. Our model provides clear guidance for developing and sustaining improvement throughout our schools. These foundations are as follows:
- Critical thinking
- Career
- Self and social awareness
- Respect and reverence
Students will learn to combine these foundations through our commitment to teach effective communication with a proficient use of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
