Our Guiding Principles
PHILOSOPHY
We believe that each human being is a child of God, within whom lies the potential to be a productive citizen and is, therefore, deserving of quality education. We believe that each child is unique, endowed with gifts and potentialities different from that of every person or being and should, therefore, be recognized for his own abilities. We believe that the first years of life are the tender years during which the foundations for a child's total development are built. We believe that true learning takes place when learning is fun, the learning environment warm, caring, highly stimulating, child-centered, and the learning experiences dynamic and relevant. We believe that the role of the teacher as the primary source and facilitator of learning is crucial to the school performance and academic achievement, as well as to all other aspects of the development of the child. We believe that the school shares the responsibility of developing the total child with the home, and that parents should play an active role in the education of their children.
