CURRICULUM STATEMENT
The school’s philosophy is the foundation from which the administration and faculty make decisions. From an understanding of the purpose and goals of the school curriculum decisions are made and instructional methodologies are implemented.
The members of the school community believe that children learn best in an atmosphere of trust, respect, and openness:
- Where students are treated as individuals with unique potentials and needs
- Where creativity and participation are encouraged and individuals are challenged
- Where there is diversity in educational methodology in order to optimize the learning experience
- Where self-discipline is the goal of order and structure.
- Where students are formed into life-long learners.
- We believe these characteristics are reflected in our curriculum goals.
