We must honor, appreciate, and respect each child as a unique human being. Each child is innately curious and motivated to learn. Because each child grows socially, physically, emotionally, cognitively, and morally, we are committed to developing each of these areas and thus nurturing the potentials of the whole child.
Children learn naturally.
Learning occurs when children connect past knowledge and skills with present experiences through investigating, observing, exploring, manipulating, and experiencing their environment first-hand. This experiential learning enables children to construct their own knowledge, provides real-life, relevant experiences that excite their interest and engage their natural quest for learning, and helps them become lifelong learners. Schools should be child-centered. We are aware of the needs and characteristics of young children and seek to create a positive, nurturing, success-oriented environment that is in harmony with those needs and characteristics. A school that is in harmony with the needs and characteristics of its learners offers greater opportunities for children to flourish socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
