Our
mission statement at
High
school: Our students are required to complete
community and family service each of the 4 years they attend our school. Our goal is to create young men and women who
value helping others. Our students
receive high school credit for these activities and it shows up on their high
school transcripts. We
will have a few openings in the Junior and Senior classes for the
2010-2011 school year. There is a very short wait list for the
sophomore class.
Middle
School: – grades
7-8: Much of what we do in grades 7 and
8 is directly involved with the transition from elementary to high school. We believe a virtuous citizen leader must
learn to deal with change…but it is one of our jobs to help them with this
skill. Most students who do not graduate
from high school have a terrible 9th grade year. This can be directly attributed, in many
cases, to kids who are not ready for the change to high school where every
grade counts, where they have 6-7 different teachers, where teachers can’t keep
them in from recess to finish work…the list can go onward. In our middle school, our kids have 4
different teachers for the major subjects.
This is much more challenging for many kids. It creates challenges in the middle years;
but better to have the challenges then than in 9th grade where the
credits for graduation start counting!
Grades
k-6: Math concept boards are present in each
classroom. Students will work on all
different areas in math every day…computation, geometry, measurement,
statistics, problem solving, etc. Grade
level work as well as above grade level work is practiced by every student,
every day. We believe that a virtuous
citizen leader is a well educated person.
