Our Philosophy of Education
We believe that learning is a continuous, life-long endeavor that prepares students to
accept responsibility for self, family, community, country, and thus become positive
contributing members to our changing global society. Further, we believe that education
is not simply the development and refinement of mental capacity, but also a life-long
process that assists students in their own individual physical, social, aesthetic, emotional,
and moral needs.
