At PTMS, it is our goal to:
- Create a safe learning environment enhanced by a spirit of school community where every student has diverse opportunities for learning
- Challenge students to explore their creative potential
- Foster pride in self, school, and community
- Promote problem-solving and critical-thinking skills and responsibility for the student's own learning
- Provide an environment which respects and emphasizes all students' rights and encourages responsibility and active participation in society
- Build a transition from the dependency of the younger child with that of the more independent young adult
- Develop each student socially and emotionally while implementing the instructional process
