“Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.”
Our Mission
As educators, our mission is to cultivate students that believe they can achieve anything! We want to inspire a passion for learning and growth in every area of their lives. We see our students as individuals and strive to meet their intellectual and emotional needs. We try to mold each student into an independent critical thinker. We take pride in equipping our students with the skills that will propel them to success well after they have left our classroom.
Our Responsibilities
Educators are tasked with the responsibility of observing the different learning styles of our students that we can adequately guide them towards comprehension and understanding. We are responsible for enthusiastically teaching and challenging our them to broaden their perspectives; in turn, they will develop a love for learning and experiencing life beyond how they have seen. Our responsibility is to set clear expectations for discussion, assignment completion, and classroom behavior. Most importantly, we hold ourselves responsible to relate to our students by being role models of good character, honesty, virtue, and living with a high moral standard.
