R. J. Neutra teachers and parents wish to effectively prepare our children to live in the world as it will exist in the twenty-first century. We believe that much of the work our children will be doing in the twenty-first century is not yet determined; therefore, we should prepare our children to be life-long learners, to think critically, and be problem-solvers. Our school has a strong sense of purpose and it is the essence of that mission that is conveyed to all who walk through our doors. The principal, staff, and parents envision our school as a place of growth for the total child: intellectual, emotional, social, ethical, and physical. A school where individual needs is recognized so that every member of our school may experience success within an atmosphere of warmth, mutual respect, and caring.
