Mission

Mastery Schools empowers students with the knowledge and skills they need to pursue their dreams and succeed after graduation.

At Pastorius-Richardson Elementary, students are inspired to reach their full potential in a culture of intellectual curiosity with a faculty of dedicated educators and a curriculum designed to challenge and engage.
