1100 - EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY/MISSION STATEMENT

This district’s education system, while maintaining flexibility in adapting to an ever-changing society, is dedicated to the personal development of each student to his or her potential through a sequentially-coordinated curriculum that allows for individual differences.

To this end, staff members will strive to aid each student’s intellectual, physical, moral, emotional and social growth so that he or she may become a responsible community member and lead a personally rewarding life.

As children develop abilities, they are expected to acquire proficiency in the skill subjects, attain efficient and satisfying work habits, grow physically strong, acquire wholesome interests, responsibly direct their lives, develop desirable social attitudes, assume citizenship responsibilities, and cultivate intellectual interests.
