To achieve this goal, which is a responsibility shared by the board of education, staff, students, parents, and community, it subscribes to the philosophy that students should:

· Learn through diversified programs that meet their individual abilities, aspirations, needs and learning styles;

· Reach their highest capabilities in a climate where learning is a shared process among teachers, students, parents, and community;

· Develop habits of lifelong learning;

· Develop self esteem, an appreciation of diversity, an appreciation of the worth of others, and understand their shared responsibility for their educational progress;

· Mature into independent, reasoning individuals who can make responsible decisions and adapt to an ever changing world.
