Our View of the Child

The student is a person created by God in His image and, as such, should be treated with dignity, respect, sincerity, and love. Every child has their own pace of development and learning, and teachers must know the student in order to maximize their abilities and give support in overcoming weaknesses.

Our View of the Mind

"The mind is not an empty sack to be filled with information" - Charlotte Mason. It is a living organ, with the ability and the desire to learn and discover. It must be nurtured with a rich variety of living ideas for meaningful learning, developing critical and creative thinking, and learning to learn with intrinsic motivation.
