Elementary Teachers
Our teachers think of themselves as “guides” in the details of the curriculum. We have four basic principles:
To motivate the child’s spirit
To encourage the child’s normal desire for independence and a high sense of self-esteem
To help the child develop the skills to become a meaningful member of society
To help the child learn how to observe, question, and explore ideas independently
