Philosophy of education
- We are to respect each child as God's creation in and offer equal opportunity to learn without discrimination.
- We believe that evidence of differentiated teaching and lessons observing multiple intelligences should be regularly practiced in the classroom offering each unique learning style an opportunity to show proficiency and access the academic material.
- Parent involvement is crucial to the success of a school and educators should provide platforms for regular involvement of parents and ongoing access to the learning that is happening in the classroom.
- Excellence in character is at the foundation and core of a successful adult and should be introduced, modeled and taught to all children by educators exemplifying excellence in character. A clear, planned and thoroughly executed character building program is crucial to the success of any school and should be integrated into all facets of the school’s culture and events.
- A diverse student body offers many benefits to the worldview of each student. Students from many nationalities and languages bring depth to an educational program allowing a real world experience in the classroom in the area of English language learners, cultural diversity, varied perspectives in class discussion and most importantly a tolerance and acceptance of all people no matter nationality, language, or race.
- We encourage creativity through all forms of art and skills, verbal and non-verbal, written and non-written forms of expression. We are provide platforms for our students to discover their gifting of creativity and the potential they have in creating something from nothing without holding bias or criticism to the product but only satisfaction in creating.

Assessment Philosophy: We believe that assessment is an integral part of a student’s learning. The main objective of assessment is to enhance student learning, by gauging each student’s progress to help build on strengths and weaknesses. For educators, assessment helps to evaluate the effectiveness of a lesson/ unit and to provide information to assist in identifying the instructional needs of students.
Classroom Philosophy: Our goal is to create a respectful, comfortable, and well-managed learning environment where students are actively engaged in the learning process through various techniques and strategies. To promote this type of environment, we believe that consistency, organization, stated procedures, and consequences are necessary. Our optimum class size is 13-18 students.
Club Days: Club days is your child’s chance to try something new or get better at something old. Clubs will meet twice a month during school days.
