School Notes Overview: |
The faculty is committed to child-centered learning through the use of "constructivist" principles in its teaching. Learning based on these principles increases intrinsic motivation and love of learning through the feeling of respect and ownership that each child experiences. Other key goals are developing a safe community of learners that promotes equity and justice locally and globally, and building and strengthening school-family partnerships to better meet the needs of the students and community. These innovative methods, coupled with the school-wide mission of preparing creative, kind and compassionate members of society, provide educational opportunities for its students. This year the school has embarked on a Global Initiatives, which ties already established program pieces such as communications, chapel, service-learning and world language and frames this learning through a global lens. ...read more
