To ensure each child’s excellence in core academic skills by providing a curriculum enlivened with the arts of painting, music, drama, movement, singing, sculpture and hand work. 2. To educate according to age and development, so that learning and growth are united. 3. To present the curriculum in multiple and integrated ways, so students have many different opportunities to learn concepts, as well as see the relationship to the larger whole. 4. To nourish the spirit of curiosity so that students continue to learn long after the end of formal training. 5. To encourage fundamental values and life skills, including responsibility, perseverance, integrity, self-discipline, trustworthiness, craftsmanship, friendship and compassion. 6. To make available this quality of education for all ethnic and socioeconomic sectors in our community.
