The philosophy of education upon which our school programs are based is that education is the harmonious development of all the powers of the individual. We believe that every school is a social community in which children are guided wisely in growth and development of health, character, personality and knowledge.
Thus our pattern includes the mental, physical, social, and moral aspects of effective living. We see education as an active rather than a passive process where significant and purposeful learning emerges from the countless school situations and activities. Children and teachers work cooperatively under democratic control to achieve skills, understandings, appreciations and attitudes. The subject matter is intended to be organized around pupil needs and interests and is thought of in terms of units of living, thinking and learning, rather than as material to be memorized and recited.
Our entire staff is dedicated to the educational success, welfare and happiness of every student. Our goal is to give competent mastery of needed abilities from an enriched and well-balanced curriculum.
