A child is naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It is an approach that values the human spirit and development of the whole child- physical, social, emotional and cognitive. In our schools, we maintain a strong and positive image of the child. We believe that all children are born capable and competent, and have preferences, interests and opinions on the world and how it affects them. We know our students have a great deal to offer our school community and classroom curriculum. We listen to them and encourage them to voice their ideas and suggestions, and know that their concerns and dislikes are valid.
