Our goal is to prepare students to become independent learners who are proficient in critical reading, critical thinking, writing, listening, and speaking.  Students will be taught in a positive, safe environment that stresses a work ethic. To pass, a student must demonstrate an improvement in or a mastery of goals by completing assignments on time.  Literature, composition, and communications will be presented in such a way as to encourage further exploration on the students’ part.  The goal is not only to educate, but also to create lifelong learners and encourage the love of reading and exploration of ideas.
