Principles & Beliefs

• What Principles of education do we stand on?

• What do we Believe about children and their capacity to learn?

Principles: Fundamental norms, rules, or values that represent what is desirable and positive for a person, group, organization, or community, and help it in determining the rightfulness or wrongfulness of its actions. Principles are more basic than policy and objectives, and are meant to govern both. See also principle.
