Confidence through Competence

This, our wholehearted commitment, speaks to three levels for our continuing existence: 

Level One:

We ourselves have confidence in our competence to positively impact children no matter what their individual capabilities, capacities, or challenges may be.

Level Two:

We know that our students who come through our school will elevate their own confidence through the competence they gain resulting from the positive interaction with our teachers, our staff, other students, and the curriculum and materials we have to offer.

Level Three:

We know that our students will be better equipped to help their families and their communities through the enhanced skills and abilities they inherently possess, that have been further developed through their time spent with us, as they mature through the years to come.
