Learning cannot occur in isolation. Therefore, we value networks of communication for the flow of ideas, information and experiences among students, staff and community. Teaching facilitates learning when it focuses on the needs of the learner. Therefore, we value a child-centered curriculum. Learners vary in mode as well as speed of learning.
Teachers exhibit varying styles and employ different methods to facilitate learning.
Therefore, we value an educational atmosphere where individual differences are respected. We believe this to be a dynamic philosophy capable of being adapted to meet the needs of our community in an ever-changing world. Definitions and Examples 1.
