enabling progreSS
We believe that the key to children making excellent
progress is found in the teacher ’s knowledge of and
relationship with each child. Small class sizes allow
teachers to discover each unique child and how they
learn best. Based on the children’s prior learning,
lessons provide challenging yet realistic objectives
to enable all children to make significant and
sustained progress.
