Mission: To equip each student in the school to become a life-long learner and ambassador for christ.
Programs: The school specializes in differentiated, or individualized, instruction. Each child is encouraged to learn at a pace that works for him or her within expected standards and goals set by the teacher. The teacher takes a very direct, hands-on role in facilitating each childs learning and mastery of knowledge. Every day, our students have clear, measurable learning goals. This individualized approach to teaching has several unique advantages over the traditional lecture driven classroom, including: high individual accountability which develops a mature personal responsibility, constant instructor/student interaction, so feedback is provided to the student immediatley, reading and research skills are constantly and consistently utilized, and high emphasis on collection, organization, and analysis of data wtih note taking, notebooks, and planners used daily.
