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. Each child differs in interests, needs, time, and ways of learning. Therefore, we attend to the individual learning needs of each child. Each child differs in his or her cultural, racial, and ethnic heritage. Therefore, we celebrate the different gifts each child brings and celebrate the daily successes of each child.
Children learn better when actively engaged.
Children should be neither passive spectators nor idle absorbers of information. They should instead be constantly seeking, experimenting, researching, experiencing, collaborating, and discussing. When interest increases, so do children's effort and achievement. With this in mind, we assure that students meet the goals of the North Carolina State Curriculum through physically and intellectually compelling activities. Children engage in endeavors such as projects, individual and group research, drama, and field trips.
