TO PROVIDE A FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITH SMALL CLASSES AND A HIGH TEACHER-STUDENT RATIO WHERE INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE CHILD. WE BELIEVE THAT SCHOOL MUST BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE EACH CHILD'S INDIVIDUAL LEARNING STYLE AND DEVELOPMENTAL PACE, AND RESPOND NOT ONLY TO THEIR INTELLECTUAL NEEDS, BUT ALSO EQUALLY IMPORTANTLY TO THEIR EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL NEEDS.TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO INTERACT WITH A VARIETY OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, AS WELL AS TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER, FROM ADULTS, AND FROM COMMUNITY RESOURCES. WE BELIEVE EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF LEARNING.
