Winston Academy
Winston Academy holds to the highest academic standards for students.
We believe that the aim of education is to provide for every student, regardless of ability and/or environment, the opportunity to develop to the maximum of his/her potential in academic achievement, moral values, physical fitness, emotional stability, social adjustment, civic responsibility, and spiritual awareness.
The school believes in a mutual respect of teacher and student for the rights of each other with both recognizing that authority is essential for stability.
We believe students should become protective citizens of a democractic society and emphasis should be placed upon the value of accepting responsibility and the development of self-discipline, a high degree of initiative, and the ability to think critically.
We believe a school is successful when it graduates young men and women who can take their place in life compatible with the social and economic demands of a changing society, who can occupy places of leadership, and who can perpetuate through the rearing of their families the tenet of our American faith.
