We believe at Abraham Lincoln Intermediate School 171 that we are a community of educators dedicated to the idea that every child can learn and is entitled to a high quality education. Our vision is to develop a learning community, in collaboration with parents, committed to providing the highest quality education to all of our students and to becoming a beacon of educational excellence in the community. Our mission is to instill in all children a sense of positive self-esteem, motivation and empowerment that will enable them to achieve academically as they move on to higher education.
