Guiding Principles

Our primary focus is on achieving the highest academic standards.
We foster a family-centered learning environment, including active and substantial parental involvement at all levels.
We encourage and facilitate parental and community review of measurable school results in all areas of focus (academics, social, environmental, etc.)
We provide a rigorous curriculum that ensures mastery of state standards. We use a scope and sequence which is aligned with state standards and has a specific emphasis on language arts, including classic literature, history and geography, visual arts, music, math, and science.
We provide a diverse range of specials including Spanish, wellness, physical education/fitness, art, and technology to ensure development of well-rounded students.
We provide proven social development programs and strictly enforce our school policies to ensure a safe and secure environment at all times.
All students participate in service learning programs to increase confidence and self-esteem and to raise students’ community awareness and sense of civic responsibility.
We utilize school uniforms to minimize parents’ costs and to ensure that students focus less on outward appearances and more on character.
We ensure that students develop life management skills and that they demonstrate personal responsibility in order to prepare them for success in future academic endeavors in high school and beyond.
