Mission, Vision, and Philosophy
Mission Statement
The mission of The Academy is to educate students by implementing a core curriculum of mathematics, reading, writing, science and social studies and by involving parents in the educational process, while nurturing student confidence and achievement with a safe, character building teaching method.
Vision Statement
The vision of The Academy is to provide teachers, parents, and students with innovative teaching tools and methods so that together they create a school that will develop students who are competent, confident, productive, and responsible young adults who possess the habits, skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in post-secondary education, find satisfying employment and succeed in life. A complete education is built not only on a solid academic foundation but also on an approach that encourages parental involvement and character development.
Philosophy Statement
The philosophy of the Academy is grounded in the belief that when there is low threat, and content is highly challenging, accelerated learning takes place. Each child has the right to come to school without fear of taunting, teasing, or violence. Each parent has the right to expect a school to provide a safe, kind environment for his/her child. Each staff member has the right to teach without fear of violence. Students, parents, and teachers will experience peace of mind in The Academy setting.
Technology Statement
Technology is an important part of the everyday functioning of the classroom at The Academy. Technology is viewed as multifunctional. It is to be used by the teachers and students as a means of instruction and presentation. Students can use the technology to acquire information, conduct investigations and synthesize the information to meet specific educational goals or class projects.
