We except a major responsibility for helping children to develop competence in reading and language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, health, art, music, physical education and technology.

We believe that, above all else, the welfare of the child should be our major priority. The school should provide the child with many rich and enjoyable experiences that will increase his/her desire for knowledge . The school's programs should be constantly evaluated as to student growth, effectiveness of current methods and materials, and according to the school and economic demands created by society.
