Mission The mission of Frontier School System (FSS) is to empower students to discover and develop their gifts and talents; • in pursuit of college readiness, productive citizenship, and lifelong learning • within an atmosphere of academic excellence. Vision Statement The vision of the Frontier School System (FSS) is to become a vibrant, innovative educational leader collaborating with other academic, business and community institutions. History and Philosophy Frontier School System (FSS) opened in August, 2009 under the sponsorship of the University of Missouri – Kansas City with approximately 220 students in grades Kindergarten through fifth grade. The focus of the school was on math and science. Parents of the students were impressed by what their students were learning and asked administrators to add a sixth grade so their students could remain at FSS. Sixth grade was added in the 2010 school. Enrollment continued to increase in the 2010-2011 school year and again parents requested seventh grade be added to accommodate their students. In 2011, FSS opened a 6th through 12th grade campus at the south location, 5605 Troost Ave. The school is currently serving 200 neighborhood students. In 2011, FSS also opened a middle school serving 6th through 8th grades at the north campus location Principal, Dean of Academics, 6700 Corporate Drive. The educational focus was modified to include science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). As enrollment increased, so did the demand for a high school in northeast area. In 2013, Frontier STEM High School was opened serving grade 9. Currently, FSS educates 1060 students in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City and its surrounding area have the fourth largest engineering, manufacturing and technology workforce in the country. At FSS we believe excelling in math and science prepares young people to succeed in college, the workplace, and to be competitive in the 21st century.
