All
children are uniquely gifted—mentally, physically and
spiritually. Unfortunately, education is presented in a
‘one size fits all’ package. The best learning
opportunity takes place in a setting where each child is
well known and every child’s individual process within a
school year can be measured and celebrated.
At its best,
education inspires and fosters the
child to learn
at the speed of their personal potential. As part of the
educational experience, real learning also demands that
students be challenged to live up to their potentials as
students, citizens and as leaders of the future. |
To ensure
that your child is receiving the education she/he needs:
•
Determine how individual learning gains within the
school system is measured. Ensure that your child’s
school can demonstrate exactly where your
child began
the year and how much academic progress she/he makes
within the school year.
•
Determine if a personalized education plan is available
to maximize your child’s learning potential.
•
Determine if the core curriculum ensures your
child is
receiving a comprehensive education.
•
Determine if core curriculum includes subjects such as:
music, art and physical education.
•
Determine if your child will have access to both gifted
classes and extra support. Having the flexibility of
gifted classes will ensure that your
child can acquire
greater knowledge in areas she/he excels in without
losing extra individualized attention in subjects where
your child needs help.
•
Determine how character education is incorporated into
the learning experience/ environment.
Creating
today’s children into tomorrow’s leaders requires
educating the whole child—a synthesis of head and heart
knowledge. Your child deserves this level of
comprehensive education. Expect and accept nothing less.
