School Goals

Based on our philosophy we subscribe to the following goals:

1.                  To offer a program designed to meet the needs of our students.

2.                  To insure a solid academic foundation in basic needs.

3.                  To encourage appropriate student behavior by following a consistent, firm and fair discipline policy.

4.                  To encourage and implement mid level strategies, to smooth transition and to deliver curriculum in an integrated fashion by using some scheduling alternative.

5.                  To help students understand and accept the cultural diversity of others in order to participate successfully in a global society.
