The District Philosophy
We believe in providing our District community with an exemplary educational system that inspires all learners to achieve excellence. We aspire to be among the very best school systems within a global community, with students who are well-prepared to make a life, a living, and a difference. The beliefs described in this philosophy are intended to serve as a frame of reference, the direction by which all district policies, resources, and energies are aimed and applied.
We believe it is essential to:
- Promote a climate where a child's personal signature, his or her distinctive way of learning and creating, is something to be preserved and developed.
- Support, challenge, and guide each learner in intellectual, personal, social, aesthetic, and leadership development.
- Foster the development and maintenance of a caring and respectful learning environment that instills in all learners a lifelong love of learning, a commitment to good character, and a devotion to service.
- Provide an environment with high academic and ethical standards, where all learners engage in inquiry, creative thinking, teamwork, and the implementation of democratic principles.
- Provide programs which foster all learners to develop an understanding of self, to grow in emotional maturity, and to maintain physical health and wellness.
