The Vision of ASTEC, Inc. is to have learners interacting in a classroom that focuses on the Core Values of Content, Character, Competency and Community. Content and instruction is research-based and integrates math, science and technology into a liberal arts curriculum. Each teacher uses an experiential teaching model that crosses subject matter boundaries. Teachers and students explore the relevancy of the material through classroom simulations. The Character traits of Integrity, Compassion, Passion and Responsibility are essential elements for successful living. These traits are modeled by all employees and are recognized and rewarded when achieved by learners. The Competency skills of Teamwork, Communication and Critical/Creative Thinking are embedded in the experiential teaching model of ASTEC. The value of Community expresses itself when the students see their place and value in the unique communities of school, home, neighborhood, city, state, nation and world. The idea is presented that good citizenship in all these areas is essential for a safe world. ASTEC, Inc. provides a safe environment where learners are encouraged to dream, explore and discover. Learners understand that regardless of background or ability, when reaching for their highest potential, they can experience peace, prosperity and personal accountability. The ASTEC, Inc. Community reflects the beliefs, character, judgments, acts and efforts of this vision.
