- What sparks a child’s sense of wonder and fuels it to become a quest for knowledge, builds
the confidence to acquire it and then nourishes it to become a lifelong love of learning?
At Community Independent School…
* Students develop that belief in self that leads to respect, responsibility, stewardship, cooperation and leadership.
* Children have a supportive environment in which to experience challenges, successes and triumphs.
* We focus on creating an environment that fosters positive self-image and self-respect, both vital ingredients in future achievement
* Learning is dynamic, based strongly in academics - language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Our classrooms are more than books and blackboards; they're filled with music, art, theater, literature and foreign cultures.
* A supportive learning environment leads to positive self-image and self respect: vital ingredients for future achievement.
* Education is about more than giving children knowledge; it's about encouraging them to do significant things with what they've learned.
* We strive to ignite a love of learning through impassioned educators who teach a child-focused curriculum based in knowledge arts, creative and experiential learning.
