Christian learning and worship of the Triune God are central to the curriculum of a Lutheran high school. Therefore, we subscribe to the following principles of teaching and learning. We apply principles of Christian relationships to all teaching. Methods of instruction are consistent with our understanding of God's will for our relationship to Him and the relationships of respect for teacher to student and student to teacher. Both students and teachers view themselves as worthwhile persons, have a positive regard for other persons, and relate to others in a courteous manner.
Effective teaching is directly related to time on task.
Therefore, good stewardship of school time is effective when teachers plan and carry out activities to maximize the time on task and students cooperate with the teacher's plans. We seek to establish a learning environment in which both students and teachers approach learning with confidence. The learning of all subjects occurs within the context of Christian under-standing. We affirm the importance of both motivation and self-discipline in learning. The instructional process should stimulate student interest in learning and provide positive methods of reinforcement.
