Enthusiasm for and enjoyment of learning are fundamental to our mission. We recognize that the family is the child's primary source of learning. The school joins this partnership and together children, parents and school staff collaborate to enhance the quality of learning and teaching in all curricular areas. Our purpose is to help children make sense of their world by providing them with meaningful learning opportunities. Fine arts are infused into the core curriculum.
Technology is infused into the core curriculum.
All students receive direct instruction in drama, art, music and dance on a daily basis. We are a democratic school that practices democratic discipline and stresses the principles of being firm, fair and consistent. We offer early reading intervention as part of the Early Literacy Program. We practice contract learning so that students develop self-responsibility for learning. Belfast has a very active adult community choir.
