We believe in the dignity and inherent worth of every individual.  We accept every child, as he/she is when he enters our schools.  We recognize that each child has different abilities, interests and needs to which our curriculum must be suited.  We shall do our utmost to help each child develop his/her potentialities to the fullest extent so that he may become a socially and economically productive member of our democratic society.

                We believe in the American way of life, which permits an individual to choose his/her own way of life as long as it does not interfere with the rights and property of others.  To perpetuate this belief we must guide the child in the development of critical and scientific thinking so that he/she can reach valid decisions concerning our society.  We must stimulate in each child a respect and loyalty to our American heritage and a deep conviction of his/her personal responsibility for contributing to it.

                We believe that we must guide all school activities toward the following goals:

1.        Students will be encouraged to understand and utilize their knowledge rather than merely memorizing facts.

2.        Students will develop desirable traits of mental and physical health.

3.        Students will develop value systems, including ethical and spiritual values, that are compatible with the values of the culture.
