What education is for us

OUR BELIEFS

We believe that we should inspire all students to achieve their full potential.

We believe
that successful students are able to challenge themselves in and out of school, so becoming life long learners and effective problem solvers.

We believe that all American Academy students will acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to become lifelong learners and productive members of society.

We believe that we should instill in our students the values of courtesy, respect, appreciation, tolerance and determination to succeed.

We believe that we should teach young people to love learning and value knowledge and to develop responsibility and character, by providing a constant rigorous level of high expectations.

We believe that the curriculum should be rigorous, motivating, stimulating, enjoyable, and relevant, and offer opportunities for academic, personal, social and spiritual development.

We believe that a good school is one that educates students for a successful life in both the academic arena and real life situations by communicating effectively, respecting individual differences and setting high standards for students, staff and administrators.

We believe that an effective classroom is one in which students enjoy working both individually and co-operatively using a variety of learning styles.

We believe that a good staff member is one who enjoys what they do, has the students' best interests in mind, models respect, values team work, is caring, courteous and dedicated and is supportive of students, parents, and fellow teachers and administrators.
