Memphis School of Excellence is an urban charter school in Memphis, TN. The mission of Memphis School of Excellence (MSE) is to provide a safe and collaborative environment which will cultivate the academic and social development of its students by emphasizing math, science, and technology for the purpose of students setting and meeting higher education goals. Graduates of MSE will have the tools necessary to positively impact their communities as they pursue their personal and professional aspirations. Memphis School of Excellence believes an effective and adequate education necessary for the citizens of the future relies heavily on a multidimensional academic curriculum in which all core subjects will be blended together through various teaching methods while promoting the development of a strong character that supports and respects society. We strongly believe that MSE’s mission statement and our outlined goals relate to the Memphis City Schools’ strategic plan which is based on student achievement, accountability, parent and community involvement, healthy youth development, safety and diversity.

Memphis School of Excellence believes that focusing on an overall high academic achievement will include providing opportunities for individual skills and talents to develop to higher levels. This will inspire in students a lifelong love of learning and desire for self-improvement and creativity. MSE strives to lead each and every student to these accomplishments by using enhanced Tennessee Curriculum Standards. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 will serve as a guideline in our commitment to teach every student how to reach his or her fullest potential. As part of the NCLB Act, instruction at MSE will be research based and evaluated frequently, teacher development will be a continual process, and special emphasis will be given for the adequate yearly progress of each student.
