Team+Mandarin

School is about growth of the individual and her/his community. Learning is a kind of growth that is an essential and natural part of the human condition. School provides an efficient medium that is safe and nuturing with the capacity to bring out one's talents toward developing competent adults, who can cotribute to our society.

Our core belief is that by offering our best, we can bring out the best in our students. Hence, the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts and the potential of children is incalculable. The synergy of teamwork and dedication to continual learning are the bedrocks of growth and improvement. We belive in kids and that families are active and critical partners in education.

Analysis of student needs, coupled with persistent research, observation of governmental mandates and the voice of parents and the values of our community drives our planning and action in our learning environment.

We teach with an informed balance between compassion and achievemnet standards. We are willing to take risks to improve, and we let our goals and dreams define us.

Each member of our learning community has opportunities to participate and lead. We need to be polite, thoughtful, tolerant, and creative challengers and take collective responsiblitity for each child.
