The third A, Accountability , refers to the responsibility that staff, families and students share for student learning. The fourth A, the Arts , recognizes the need for innovative and creative learning opportunities that excite and engage children by using literature, poetry, drama, dance, visual arts, music, art history and writing. The arts teach children to think critically and creatively. Finally, the program is based on the belief that children must learn to take responsibility for their own education. They are provided opportunities to make choices.
Cooperation is encouraged and competition is de-emphasized.
We Honor All Children.
