SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
A meaningful philosophy of education must take into account the needs and desires of those groups of people who are affected by the educational program and should reflect the whole environment the school seeks to serve. It is imperative that the community, parents, students, teachers, administration, and the Board of Directors share their vision and resources in a mutually beneficial partnership with the school.
• SESO’s philosophy is based upon the belief that a school should be a center for human development in a balanced and integrated fashion.
• The school recognizes that the student is the most important individual in the educational setting. It also recognizes that the teacher is the school’s greatest resource for providing a positive educational experience and a role model who will contribute to the success of the students.
• SESO is committed to providing flexible instructional approaches for its students to develop to the fullest their individual capabilities and to apply these capabilities to improving the human condition.
• The school seeks to develop competence in those skills that empower students to be lifelong learners.
• The philosophy is dedicated to the belief that information must be accompanied with encouragement of individual worth and dignity, creativity, critical thinking, and enthusiasm, if it is to be useful to students.
• With the understanding that this philosophy reflects the beliefs and attitudes of the groups SESO seeks to serve, it will be used as the basis for establishing educational objectives, programs, and policy decisions. It will remind SESO that education is an ever-present challenge toward excellence.
