Core Philosophy“Schools do more than simply prepare to make a living. They prepare people to live full lives – to participate in their communities, to raise families, and to enjoy the leisure that is the fruit of their labour. A solid education is its own reward.” The Department of Education of SCANS — Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills — REPORT, 1990 |
