Educational Philosophy:

At ACS, we believe:

• All children can learn.
• All children benefit from developmentally appropriate materials, practice, and strategies.
• All children deserve a quality education in which individual needs are met, exceeded, and supported.
• Social skills, such as life skills, deserve the same attention as academic skills.
• School is not just about children: it encompasses family, parents, community, stakeholders, society, the environment, and the world.
• Children must be encouraged to see the connection between new learning and prior knowledge.
• Children are more than test scores.
• Children learn best in a safe,caring environment, one that values diversity, collaboration, and risk-taking.
• Children thrive when expectations are high and self-esteem higher.
