Credo

Scholastic’s books and educational materials inspire students...

To cultivate their minds to utmost capacity
To become familiar with our cultural heritage
To strive for excellence in creative expression in all fields of learning, literature, and art
To enlarge students' concern for and understanding of today's world
To help build a society free of prejudice and hate, and dedicated to the highest quality of life in community and nation

We strive to present the clearest explanation of current events and encourage literary appreciation — enriching the lives
of all children with the joy and power of reading.

We believe in

The worth and dignity of each individual
Respect for the diverse groups in our multicultural society
The right of each individual to live in a wholesome environment
High moral and spiritual values
The democratic way of life, with basic liberties — and responsibilities — for everyone
Representative government and even-handed justice that maintains equality of rights for all people
Cooperation and understanding among all people for the peace of the world
The basic freedoms of all individuals — we oppose discrimination of any kind on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation or identity, age, or national origin
The fair discussion of all sides of the issues of our times — with deep respect for facts and logical thinking — in our books, classroom magazines, and educational materials used in schools and homes.
