Every student will become an independent life-long learner, will grow in social graces, and will attain inner discipline and joy-the birthright of every human being.

BELIEFS:

• Each child is unique.
• All children can learn.
• All children deserve respect and courtesy.
• Each child learns at his/her own learning time.
• The learning environment should reflect the world of the child-not the comfort of the adult.
• Parents are their children's first teacher.
• Children should be empowered and taught to discipline themselves and should be allowed to make choices.
• Education is successful if the student, on graduation, has the choice in seeking higher education or skill training, which results in a vocation of choice.
