Core Beliefs:
- We believe that all students should be provided hands-on, personalized learning opportunities that inspire and engage them in self-discovery, curiosity and life application.
- We believe parents must be engaged to play a well-defined and meaningful role in the lives of their students at school.
- We believe that students need to be challenged intellectually so they DO NOT fear the challenge but embrace it.
- We believe that everyone does not learn in the same way. Some require more time, resources and different ways of teaching to be successful.
- We believe our students deserve the best possible educational experience regardless of their backgrounds.
- We believe compassionate teachers need to challenge their students to achieve their desired success.
