- All students deserve academic challenges that acknowledge a variety of learning styles.
- Interdisciplinary teaming and the development of thematic units provide lifelong learning experiences.
- A continuum of learning exists among elementary, middle, and high schools.
- The integration of technology provides the learner with the skills necessary to compete in the Information Age.
- A community of learners is developed through the efforts of teams of teachers and students.
- Teachers as facilitators in the classroom produce autonomous learners.
- Cooperative learning promotes an individual's responsibility to a group.
- A safe environment creates a sense of belonging.
- Respect for self and others develops good citizens.
