Create a climate in which people speak honestly yet respectfully to each other, are not afraid to disagree, and can do so without jeopardizing their relationships. Resolve conflicts quickly, intelligently, and fairly. Students gain self-esteem by receiving recognition for success in academic and personal growth. Students should have the opportunity to participate varied activities. Students who feel positive about themselves and their abilities are better learners.
Students gain confidence through trying new things, meeting new people, and making new friends.
We believe that students need to realize their own self worth. Self-confidence is an important ingredient in a student's ability to be curious, to be willing to explore, and to be open to learning new things. Create an environment where risk taking by students and staff is encouraged and acknowledged. Acknowledge individual efforts. Reward children for achieving appropriate goals.
