Beliefs

All students can learn.

Students learning is the chief priority for the school.

Administrators, Teachers, staff, parents, students and community members share in the responsibility for providing a supportive environment  within the school.

Each student is valued as an individual with unique intellectual, physical, social, emotional needs.

Students learn in different ways and should be  provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning.

Assessments of students learning should provide students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their achievement and authentic contexts to apply their learning.

The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
