Philosophy
of
Education
We believe
that the responsibility for education
in our school system is shared by
children, teachers, parents, and
the community. We believe that the
function of the school is to provide
learning experiences which help each
child to achieve his maximum intellectual,
social, physical, emotional, and
moral growth and development. We
believe that the successful performance
of this function will provide for
each child the fundamentals for competent
citizenship. |
