Educational Philosophy

Our educational philosophy is that we believe all students are capable of learning. They all do not learn at the same rate, but with different methods and strategies, it is possible. Students should not be thought of as mindless individuals just waiting to be filled with knowledge by their teachers. Quite the opposite; students should be viewed as individuals who can contribute to the classroom, sharing and gaining knowledge from each other. Students need guidance and not just lectures. Education is not solely academic; the teacher must also educate the students mentally by teaching them the skills needed to solve problems and socially by teaching them the skills needed to communicate and work productively with others. Students must be able to function in the real world which not only requires academic knowledge but social skills as well. We believe teachers should not be alone in educating students but parents, families, and communities need to work together to support and enrich the lives of children, who are the future.
