Mission

  • Working together with families in a partnership of teachers, staff and community members to provide an individualized learning environment that fosters high achievement in core and elective areas; preparing students for life-long success.

     

    Philosophy

     

    Mankind’s primary and most basic school is the home. We believe it is best supported by a partnership between students, parent/guardian and professional educators and it is enhanced by opportunities within the community.
