Academic Excellence
Teachers are committed to the educational process, establish high learning expectations, value the diversity of their students, and impart knowledge and vision to help students become life-long learners.
Instructors use approved curriculum, instructional strategies, and best practices to promote active involvement of students and meet the individual’s abilities and talents.
Each child should become an effective communicator who can present his/her ideas using appropriate written and oral language utilizing technology as a tool.
