Guiding Educational Principles
Students learn best:

• In a safe, respectful and supportive environment where they feel valued and know that their teachers have confidence in their ability to learn.
• In a challenging environment where they are inspired to do their best, to apply themselves to their studies, to take responsible risks and to strive for continual improvement.
• When their teachers address their individual needs, thereby acknowledging that people have different kinds of minds, learn in different ways and progress at different rates.
• When they are actively engaged and when their teachers employ a wide repertoire of teaching and learning strategies.
• When they make connections, apply their knowledge and utilize higher level thinking skills.
• In a well-prepared and resource-rich environment that integrates information technologies.
• When they receive meaningful and timely feedback on what they do well and how they can improve.
• When parents, students and teachers work together in a positive partnership.
