Objective
To create an exciting and stimulating learning environment that focuses on both
academic education as well as a social learning environment in which students can be
active participants in their own education. Also, to urge parents to be more active in their
childs education and interests as parents are the most integral part of their childs
education. A strong learning environment as well as a strong parental presence will
eventually become the foundation for students to realize their own abilities and allow
them to accomplish their goals of succeeding in higher learning as well as in their future
goals in life.
