The vision of Connor Academy is to provide teachers, parents, and students with innovative teaching tools and methods so that together they create a school that will develop students who are competent, confident, productive, and responsible young adults who possess the habits, skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in post-secondary education, find satisfying employment and succeed in life. A complete education is built not only on a solid academic foundation but also on an approach that encourages parental involvement and character development.

All students share in an increased opportunity for expanded learning through fine arts, foreign language, and technology programs. The goal of Connor Academy is that students will become competent, confident, productive, and responsible citizens who possess the habits, skills, and attitudes to succeed in life and to be prepared for post-secondary education and satisfying employment. We envision students capable of pursuing any subject area because they understand how to learn and they enjoy the process of learning.

Quick and easy academic success is seldom valued or appreciated. Real, effective and lasting learning require hard work over an extended period of time. We know through experience that students who actively participate in their learning and give their best efforts will succeed. Children learn to understand that "If I didn't get it today, maybe I'll get it tomorrow, but only if I try".

The complimentary virtues of kindness and respect are woven throughout Connor Academy's curriculum and behavior expectations. Children are taught to view rules of behavior as guidelines to help us live kind and respectful lives. Rules and behavioral expectations are not meant to be seen as irritating obstacles to circumvent, but as a guide to help us adhere to the larger principles of kindness and respect. Instead of asking themselves "Am I breaking a rule?", they learn to ask "Is it kind, or respectful?". If the answer is "no" then they shouldn't do it.
