School Notes:

  • 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.
