MISSION

The principal, teachers, staff, parents, students, and community at Buena Vista Enhanced Option School envision recognition as the top performing enhanced option school in the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System and meeting the physical, psychological, cultural, cognitive, and moral development needs of students.

At Buena Vista we believe:

• High expectations challenge academic and social achievement and are enhanced when parents, teachers, students and community are actively involved in the learning process.
• Student learning is promoted through a safe, attractive, and physically comfortable environment.
• Cooperation through communication, shared decision-making, policy setting and financial responsibility within the faculty and staff encourage commitment to the success of the school.
• Successful instruction, derived from assessment, actively involves students through a variety of methods.
