Our Tenets
- We believe that meaningful learning occurs when students
construct their own knowledge for authentic purposes.
- We believe that children need a variety of learning experiences
and a safe community in order to take risks and move along
their individual developmental continua.
- We believe that children learn from and are inspired
by their environment in the natural world.
- We believe that children learn reading best through authentic
uses of language: listening, speaking, reflecting, viewing,
and writing.
- We believe that students can demonstrate evidence of
academic growth in a variety of ways. Teachers and students
use multiple measures and reflection to guide further learning.
- We believe that students will interact responsibly and
compassionately as members of a diverse world when they
are encouraged to think critically. We cultivate students’
ability to think critically and act toward social justice.
- We believe in multi-age classrooms to support both academic
and social growth of our students.
- We expect that all members of our community will engage
in direct, honest, and respectful communication.
