| We believe: |
|
| Education is the
responsibility of the entire community. |
All children have the
ability to learn. |
| Education
must support all aspects of a child's development. |
Children develop best
in an atmosphere which celebrates their unique qualities. |
| For learning to occur
a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment must exist. |
The preparation and
professional growth of teachers is an essential element of a quality
education. |
| Education must foster a love of
learning |
In life-long learning. |
