Our Philosophy
Our philosophy toward learning is that:
Learning takes place when the child's heart is engaged as well as his mind.
Learning is not a burden, but a joy and a privilege. While the end goal is non-negotiable, the method of reaching that goal is individualized according to the interests and learning styles of the student.
Once the foundations are laid (reading, writing, arithmetic), there are no limitations to what or how much a child can learn as long as the love of learning is fostered, protected, stimulated and encouraged.
Life is itself an exercise in learning and education.
A child who is taught how to learn, to think independently, to decipher and to discern will become an adult who never stops learning and bettering him/herself.
The most critical "subjects" learned are those pertaining to self-discipline, self-control, respect for and service to others, civic responsibility, and high moral character.
