Philosophy

We, the faculty of South Toe Elementary School, believe that it is vitally important to ensure that each child:

• Develops a positive self-concept
• Receives an education which is the result of cooperative effort and communication among school, parents, and child
• Acquires the skills for life-long independent learning
• Makes healthy decisions concerning his mental, physical, emotional, and social growth
• Learns in a safe, nurturing, but intellectually stimulating environment, which accommodates and accepts individual differences
• Develops a sense of responsibility toward his community
• Participates in cooperative learning in order to develop respect for others
• Experiences a curriculum which is a product of effective planning and the integration of new methods, programs, materials, and technology.
