We believe that each student should be given the opportunity to be educated in a physically and emotionally safe, personalized, and caring environment.

Working with students in smaller groups increases opportunities for learning, personal attention, a sense of belonging, and the development of a supportive classroom community.

We are entrusted with using public resources to provide a quality education for our students. We carefully develop priorities based on student needs, legal responsibilities, and cost-effective methods.

Our schools are the centers of the community. We actively seek community involvement. And, we respond to community needs.

We operate on the behalf of parents. It is our responsibility to assist parents In the education of their children. We value parental involvement, and we make every reasonable effort to response to parental concerns.

Our educational program is enriched and extended with opportunities such as: fieldtrips, recreational activities, academic competitions, and club activities.

We model socially responsible behavior, expect it from each student and make it part of our curriculum. We believe these traditional values have served our society well in the past, are cherished by our community, and are important to our future.

We are never content with the status quo in our operations or in our curriculum methods. We recognize that we live in a changing world and we respond to those changes. And, we are constantly looking for better and more efficient ways of accomplishing our mission.

We specifically and carefully select our staff on the basis of their ability to carry out the mission and guiding principles described above. We hire the best people suited for the task. We respect their expertise and depend on them to work with parents to make our vision for a community of learners a reality.
