Belief Statements:

We believe:

· All students can learn. The goals, expectations, and aspirations to be realized through the schools are the same for all students. However, all students are not the same. They have different talents and abilities, interests and emotions, strengths and weaknesses. For each individual, we desire an educational system that will both stimulate and urge the full development of potential. We must, therefore, provide considerable choice and flexibility for each student together with basic requirements.

· All teachers share in the responsibility for developing an educational system that stimulates and nurtures the full development of all students.

· An important purpose of education is to instill a life-long desire to learn. Learning enriches the quality of life.

· Positive attitudes produce positive results.

· High expectations foster greater student achievement.

· Students learn best in a trusting, caring, nurturing, and safe environment.

· Effective teaching provides a variety of learning experiences.

· The acquisition of life skills and higher order thinking is essential to prepare the student for the challenges of adulthood in a technological society.

· Parents, educators, and all community members are partners in the education of the community's children.

· The understanding and acceptance of diversity contributes to the enhancement of society.

· Education is worth the investment.
