Mission:

The Old Tappan School District is committed to the pursuit of excellence in education as it involves students actively and personally in learning. It aspires to develop lifelong learners who can take responsibility for their own learning, master the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standards, and contribute to the learning of others.

The District seeks to enhance feelings of self-worth and foster respect for the uniqueness of all individuals. The ultimate goal is to develop students who are responsible citizens prepared to participate in a constantly changing society.
