Philosophy Statement

Northern Lights ABC (Anchorage Basic Curriculum) School parents and staff believe the purpose of education is to provide children with skills necessary to live successfully, to contribute to their communities and be responsible citizens. The school is concerned with five major developmental areas: intellectual, physical, emotional, social and ethical.

Intellectual development includes mastery of basic skills in all academic areas. Every effort will be made for students to achieve maximum learning at the appropriate level through careful and sequential teaching. We encourage students, not only in the intellectual and affective domain, but also in the area of physical fitness. physical fitness, recreation and wellness.

Opportunities for emotional and social development are afforded all students as they participate in class and school activities and fulfill responsibilities. The school emphasizes honesty, consideration for others, good citizenship, and the ideals upon which our nation was founded.

Morally and the development of ethics are the responsibility of parents. The school will reinforce ethical values as we strive to prepare students to be productive members of society, through our character development and training.

We believe the majority or children learn best in a structured learning environment and are happiest when they can see their own growth and progress. Children need the challenge of measurable standards and being graded in a consistent manner. Our goals can be accomplished through an atmosphere of cooperation, understanding, knowledge, involvement and support in the part of parents and staff.
