- The Timmerman School believes the child is an eager and willing participant in the action of learning if given a stimulating and nurturing environment.
- To foster this desire, the faculty, staff, and administration of Timmerman strive to provide a safe, creative, thought-provoking atmosphere in which a child can learn to wonder, question, create decision making skills, and comprehend the meaning and function of the world around him or her.
- The development of self discipline, resourcefulness, responsibility, respect for others, and respect for self is, therefore, fundamental to the school's educational philosophy.
- It is the goal of the school to produce graduates with highly developed thinking skills who are well grounded in all fundamental academic disciplines.
