Our mission is to develop in children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to be productive, contributing individuals in a changing society.
We believe that:
Our children are our most precious resource.
Education is the shared responsibility of the student, parent, school, community and government.
Education should promote personal and social responsibility, and a spirit of cooperation.
Education helps the child develop an appreciation for ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity.
Each student is entitled to the highest quality of educational opportunities.
Family is the primary influence in the development and education of the child.
The primary focus of schools is to educate students.
Academics are the cornerstone of education.
Scientific and technological literacy are necessary.
Appropriate assessment is an integral part of the educational process.
Education develops the creative and physical being of the individual.
Every individual is accountable for her/his actions.
Educational achievement will be evident in the child's social behavior, demonstrable academic skills, self esteem and enthusiasm for learning.
Education should instill a lifelong love of learning.
Education should advance the self esteem, personal growth, and independence of the individual.
Education should be relevant, connected and real.
High expectations and hard work are essential to quality performance.
A positive and nurturing classroom environment is necessary.
A safe, healthy and orderly environment is the right and responsibility of every individual.
Everyone can learn and be successful.
