True education must be an experience which frees and enables a child to grow into the unique person he is. A youngster must learn to think, to feel, to create, to find himself. Therefore, our concern is not merely with instruction, but with the total life of the child.
- The school exists for the welfare of the child.
- Education is student-centered and each child is recognized as a unique individual with unique interests, needs and abilities.
- Every effort is made to humanize and personalize the environment in which the student learns and to maintain a friendly and wholesome atmosphere that encourages creative expression and a desire for knowledge.
- The emphasis of the total instructional program is aimed at meeting the individual needs of each student in order to allow each child to develop to his fullest potential.
- The school establishes as atmosphere in which students develop abilities to think originally and analytically, to draw logical conclusions and to express these thoughts in written and spoken form.
- It is a function of the school to develop the "whole" child by fostering aesthetic as well as academic growth through increased form.
- By instilling in the student a knowledge and appreciation of his heritage as a member of the traditional American community, as an American citizen, and as a member of a family, the school strives to make him aware of his responsibilities to himself and to others.
