The philosophy behind the mission and vision of Anderson Academy of Mathematics and Science and its secular non-sectarian curriculum is centered on attracting at-risk inner city students from various backgrounds, demographics, and religious denominations.  This choice will prevent us from negating any specific student(s) deemed academically at-risk, underserved, in despair, or unequal, no matter what his or her beliefs may be. Parents and community involvement will also be a major factor in developing a school wide culture based on a commitment to excellence and academic prosperity.

The spiritual development will be the responsibility of the founders to thoroughly and meticulously incorporate and convey the mission and vision to all future employees and constituents whose duties will include establishing a school wide environment based on ethical decision making, which will only enhance the curriculum, school culture, and ultimately the entire morale of the school community and district.  All constituents and employees will have the responsibility of initiating and modeling the proper behaviors and traits both from a moral and ethical standpoint, which will be practiced by the entire student body.  The student body will eventually not only practice these behaviors and traits but also carry them throughout their neighborhoods and society in general.  The overall attraction and recruitment of instructors, administrators, custodians, coaches, etc. will be vital. The expectations and by-in by these individuals will be necessary in not only developing such a culture but also carrying it out and implementing it as well.  The ability of the founders to properly convey the expectations and attract the personnel necessary will be key components to the overall manifestation of the mission and vision of Anderson Academy of Mathematics and Science.

Each student will be presented with a cultural philosophy, which reflects the mission and vision.  The requirement of the mission and vision will expound on self-respect, self-reliance, self-empowerment, and accountability through group collaborations based on positive social, cultural, and academic unity and prosperity.  School leaders will represent these attributes and come to expect these components from their fellow constituents, students, and parents as well. 

The overall character education will coincide with the curriculum and school culture on a daily basis.  The aura and atmosphere of Anderson Academy of Mathematics and Science will be one, which fosters ethical responsibility and caring students based off proper modeling by the entire student body and staff sharing the values of the institution as a whole. The founders are firm believers in long-term solutions rather than quick-fix measures when addressing moral, ethical, or academic issues that do not reflect the character education represented by the mission and vision of Anderson Academy of Mathematics and Science.
