Educational Philosophy:

Education is a means to an end. To this aim, create a school environment where students can enhance personal self-​worth through lessons taught about accountability and responsibility which leads to dependability. The educational environment should cultivate an atmosphere of encouragement, mutual respect, honesty and truthfulness between teacher, student and parent. By so doing, students receive the foundation for what lies ahead.
