TRADITIONAL PROGRAM CORE BELIEFS
*Education is the catalyst and the essential ingredient for providing the necessary knowledge, understanding, and values for an
individual to productively contribute to society.
*A structured, orderly learning environment is essential for maximum student achievement.
*High academic standards of excellence are attained by all students through the combined efforts of educators, students, and parents, who are committed to established guidelines and
supportive of clear expectations.
*The primary function of the traditional school is to teach a coherent, planned progression of basic skills, concepts, and knowledge that contribute to a student’s sense of purpose, self-confidence, and maturity.
*Although the acquisition of knowledge and skills is our primary goal, it is also our responsibility to encourage students to think, to analyze, and to express their thoughts clearly and logically.
*The program should contribute to all aspects of a student’s growth while placing an emphasis on patriotism, a code of proper conduct and attire, moral values, and the development of self-discipline.
*Since no acquired body of knowledge or skills is sufficient for a lifetime, education should be a continuing process. We are to develop students who are equipped as life-long learners.
*The traditional school is open to students from diverse backgrounds that have a commitment to the philosophy set forth by the traditional program. ALL ABOUT GREATHOUSE/SHRYOCK
