We are a community...
a community of students, parents, and educators who share a passion to empower the next generation to succeed in any path of life they choose.
What We Believe
- Education’s true purpose must be to prepare all young people to lead fulfilling lives in a future that is begging for individuals with critical thinking skills rather than the “ability” to memorize and pass a test with meaningless information that will soon be forgotten.
- Young people are not standardized, nor should their learning be.
- No student should be part of a system that can label them a “slow learner” or a “failure” just because they learn differently than other students.
- “Today, it is not what you know that makes success, but knowing where to find the answer.” – Bill Gates. So “F” should stand for “Find the Answer!”
- It is our duty to bring the Spirit of Love and the Love of Learning out of every young student.
