I am very much gratified and appreciative to the Almighty God who had spared our lives to reach to this day. He made us to come to the end of this academic year 2022/2023 successfully. He had made us to achieve whatmwe thought was impossible, but is there anything too hard for God? I quote; Luke 1:37 for with God nothing is impossible. Let God be glorified.To Mr. Yudeh Sie Landford my son, the able young and innovative General Supervisor, I bestow on you my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for conducting the affairs of this institution successfully. Under your administration you have brought our dream to realization by raising the school to senior high, established the modern computer lab, a library and multiple court. May God be your anchor.To the Administration, Staff, Matron and Security, I do not count you as employees but as my children based upon the cordial working relationship exist between us. There is nothing that I could have done without you. Let us continue to work assiduously to bring the school to a nobler height.To the parents and guardians, I also extend my thanks to you for having enrolled your children in this institution. In this institution our belief is until quality education is achieved let us support.I am appealing to the government to help subsidize all the private schoolsand not only the school systems. Public school children, private schoolchildren and children of school systems are all children of the governmentof Liberia; therefore, everyone has the equal right to quality education.
Thanks.

The late President Nelson Mandela stated “Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor; that the son of a mineworker can become the head of a mine; that the child of a farm worker can become the president of a great nation”.It is against this background that the Bishop Matthew Norwood School prioritized education first above others. We believe in the principle goal of education which is to create people who are capable of doing new things, notonly repeating what other generations have done.Our philosophy is to inspire all students to develop marketable 21st-century skills. These skills include reading, writing, mathematics, computer knowledge,collaboration and the integrity of being a responsible and productive citizen.Our mission is to develop young men with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs. We stress the total development of each child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical.This community school recognizes that each child is an individual; that all children are creative; that all children need to succeed. Therefore, Bishop Matthew Norwood School respects the individual needs of children; fosters a caring and creative environment; and emphasizes the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development of each child.Bishop Norwood School's role is to help each child come into confident possession of his/her innate talents, improve the skills needed for success in secondary school, and establish values that will allow him/her to act with thoughtfulness and humanity.We are committed to ensuring learning experiences that will assist our students to achieve their greatest potential to adapt and adjust to a diverse and ever-changing society.
