EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES

We will: 

(Curriculum, Instruction and Learning)

Foster in our students the joy of learning, the love of discovery, the confidence to grow, and a sense of responsibility and respect for others.

We accomplish this by:

1. Providing an academically challenging educational program in which students and faculty continually strive for academic excellence through a curriculum that is coordinated within each grade and from grade to grade.
2. Ensuring a nurturing environment where children are central, and each child is understood and receives individual attention.
3. Using a wide range of teaching methods that effectively engage students in learning activities and foster critical thinking.
4. Employing a wide range of developmentally appropriate assessment tools that allow students to demonstrate mastery and practical application of knowledge/skills, while promoting self-knowledge and encouraging reflection; teachers will use results to monitor student learning and guide instruction.
5. Incorporating technology into our instructional program so that students use technology for collaboration, research, analysis and problem solving.
