All children can learn.

Students learn differently in both rate and style; a variety of learning styles and rates should be accommodated in the learning process. Fair isn't everybody getting the same; fair is everybody getting what they need to learn at their individual best levels.

Academic, social, creative, physical, and emotional growth should be supported for all students.

Each student has the right to be treated with dignity and respect in a safe, nurturing learning environment.

Effective education provides frequent, meaningful, corrective feedback to students.

Optimum learning occurs when students, parents/guardians, and members of the school community all recognize, value, and fulfill their roles and responsibilities in the learning process.

Students are ultimately responsible for choosing to learn and to cooperate with those who support them in the learning process.
