Statement of Philosophy

It is our belief that providing and maintaining an environment conducive to
learning and maturing is of primary importance. Toward this end, the teachers
and administration work cooperatively and enlist the support of the parents and
other members of the community.

We believe that the school must provide a variety of learning experiences: have a
qualified, caring staff: encourage the use of varied teaching techniques: stress
process learning and basic skills: provide a varied program of both curricular and
extra-curricular offerings: provide appropriate facilities: and use community
resources. We further believe that our programs must have the flexibility to help
students adjust to a changing environment and the demands of the working
world.

We are concerned not only with the intellectual, academic, creative, social and
physical development of our students but also with their emotional and
behavioral development as well.

Finally, we believe that each student should be helped to develop a sense of
personal worth and a sense of purpose to life.
