The philosophy of the school is designed around meeting the needs of the total child. While the focus is on increasing student achievement, this is not at the exclusion of children’s social, physical or emotional well-being. They are concerned with all areas of development --academic, social, physical and emotional.

They are committed to providing a nurturing, safe, learning environment for all children. Every decision made will be based on what is best for all children. They want students to know that they are cared for and listened to and that there is no problem so great that it cannot be solved.

The goals are four-fold:
- Ensure that all children will achieve to their fullest potential in a safe, nurturing environment.

- Enhance the development of each child’s self esteem so that the child views himself as a person of worth and dignity.

- Make each child’s educational experiences pleasant and success oriented so that the child develops an enthusiasm and love for lifelong learning.

- Foster a collaborative, respectful relationship between children, families, staff and community.
