Lincoln Akerman School Statement of Beliefs
The foundation of education at Lincoln Akerman School is built on these beliefs:
* each child is unique.
* all children can learn.
* each child has an innate dignity, a desire to learn, to have
friends, and to be successful: to belong, to contribute, to
play.
* an effective school nurtures these innate qualities through
practices of instruction and organization that consider the
interests of the child above all other concerns.
* our school community consists of students, parents, teachers,
administrators, government officials and the community-at large
working collaboratively in the interest of the children. Vision Statement
