Educational
Philosophy
The school will reflect the founders' philosophy that:
- All children are capable of learning at high levels if they are
taught by caring, skilled educators, challenged by an engaging curriculum,
afforded adequate time and held to ambitious standards;
- All children come to the world with a unique set of talents and
resources that should be built upon to enhance learning;
- Quality learning experiences must be extended to all children on
an equal opportunity basis;
- Schooling is most effective when it respects and reflects the history
and culture of the children and families that it is intended to benefit;
- Instructional practice is enhanced when staff work as a team and
when professional development and regular assessment activities are
tied closely to the school? goals and curriculum;
- Student success is enhanced when parents participate in the life
of the school and when the school actively assists parents to play
important roles in the learning process;
- Community involvement is a powerful vehicle for engaging students?
many capacities and promoting the development of leadership skills
and a commitment to citizenship;
- Student learning should be reflected through integrated projects,
skill demonstrations and standardized tests;
- Substantial student achievement must be demonstrated to the community
at large.
