Our Beliefs About Teaching

Nothing is as important as a teacher and what goes on between a teacher and student, minute to minute, lesson to lesson, day to day. Teachers are the important element in any school– more important than good leadership, nice facilities, or class size.

We believe that teaching is:

Important

Complex

Knowledge-Based

Inherently Interesting

Enhanced by Collegiality
