Philosophy
We hold
as a
fundamental truth that children are our most treasured resource.
We embrace the responsibility of their education, and recognize their
developmental needs as both universal and individualistic.
We
believe
in an educational system that teaches respect for ourselves, others, our
schools, and our community; recognizes an individual’s self-worth, talents,
and effort; that prepares our children for tomorrow’s challenges by supporting
and rewarding individuals for academic excellence, creativity, and team work;
and encourages new ideas and provides a safe learning environment for taking
risks and learning from mistakes.
We
promote a healthy school spirit by encouraging participation in
extracurricular activities, and by supporting positive peer socialization.
We
value a sound, fundamental K-12 coordinated curriculum and the excitement
of discovery brought about by the integration of technology into our programs.
We
foster partnerships between parents and teachers, and also the schools
and community.
We
encourage ourselves and others to be efficient, open minded and creative
with our fiscal responsibilities.
We
celebrate cultural diversity, lifelong learning, and the university of
our public schools.
