Academic Policy
Every student can and will succeed in ways that reflect aptitude and interest. We believe in respect for all, simplicity, and the peaceful resolution of conflict. The goal of our education is preparation for the whole of life. We do so by providing an optimal environment of learning in which parents and teachers work together to create an inclusive learning community. Through hands-on teaching, integrated curriculum, and real-life learning with meaningful community connections, students are motivated as lifelong learners. Our teachers are empowered to teach to the needs of each student

Behaviour Policy
Students and parents are expected to act respectfully toward each other. When students are respectful of other people and their property, they will rarely come into conflict with community rules and guidelines. Safety for self and others and respect for all are at the forefront of our school mission. Students must constantly be aware of the presence of younger children in the passage and on the grounds. Infractions of behavioral expectations will result in disciplinary consequences.
