(A) Education affects all subsequent behavior. Mainly it can make a positive difference in the life of each student as it relates to basic skills, development of citizenship skills and attitudes, and the enrichment of learning through academic challenges, cultural arts, and psychomotor activities.
    We believe that:
(B) Children not books should be taught; thus instilling in students a sense of self worth and a respect for all human beings, creating a love of learning and modeling values that make for productive members of society.
    We believe that:
(C) Teaching "How to find out" is more important than teaching accumulated facts. Ideally our students will become lifelong learners.
    We further believe that:
(D) Each child is an individual. By using each opportunity to celebrate their differences, we promote an environment where each child can be proud of who he/she is.
    Finally we believe that all student regardless of prior knowledge or background, are capable of learning. Based on the theory that "no one rises to low expectations", we strive to create a learning environment that promotes success for all students and staff.
