Philosophy:
We are re-weaving civilization. There is no more important work than preparing the next generation for life, including giving them the skills, social experiences, and participation in the arts to lead a fulfilling life, become a productive member of society, and enjoy caring relationships. In elementary schools we form children in the context of curriculum, so let's not forget that it is the formation of human beings that is our foremost task. As such, we are not merely students and teachers and parents, but we are all members of a community of learners.
