We want students to approach learning with confidence and joy as they grow in their own responsibility. We recognize the importance of academic achievement as well as developing curiosity and the creative capacity for aesthetic appreciation. We expect students to show respect for others while maintaining a healthy respect for themselves. We feel our children can best be served by having many people as resources. We look forward to working together with parents, strengthening the lines of communication between home and school and community.
All students can learn.
Each individual has self-worth, dignity, and rights that should be respected by all. The educational environment should encourage explorations, creativity, innovation, and change. All staff need to address the whole child, including the child's educational, social, emotional, and physical needs. All individuals have a right to a safe and secure environment where trust, encouragement, and support prevail. Staff shall observe and listen to students as they tell and show their needs and strengths.
