Our mission is to discover and respect each child's individuality and unique talents. We will help them develop self-confidence, recognize their personal strengths, and reach their highest potential. We will set high expectations for them and encourage them to become lifelong learners.
The multiage classroom is a place where children will develop responsibility and self confidence, and experience success as self-directed learners. Learning is child-centered; skill based, allows for continuous growth, recognizes development at different rates and styles and engages the whole child in the learning experience. The evaluation of each child is an ongoing process, using a variety of assessment tools, as they meet the benchmarks and content standards for the first and second grade curriculum.
We believe that collaboration is the key to success, that families and the teaching team are facilitators of learning and enhance the daily school program, both during the school day and at home.
