School considers the development of skills in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics to be of key importance. Children’s growth in these skills is central to the mastery of the specific content area within the language arts, social studies, and sciences. The potential of each student is given further opportunity for expression in the fine arts, physical education and extracurricular activities offered at the school.
The school believes that a meaningful sense of membership in the world community is a goal for each student. Thus we endeavor to internationalize the curriculum whenever possible and encourage the use of texts and materials from other countries. The school also offers a program in local culture and language and encourages members of the whole community to share national customs and traditions from around the world through programs with the student body.
Thus, the ongoing growth and development of each child in academic skills, in responsible self-expression, and as a citizen of both their own country and the world are the heart of the purpose of the school. We believe that the accomplishment of these goals enables us to provide the kind of education that satisfies the students, their families, and the various stakeholders who use our school.
