Educational Philosophy: All students are capable of learning, they have to want to learn. The middle school years are a time when students need to not only learn about the subjects at hand, but also learn study skills, work habits, responsibility, and how to apply critical thinking. Contributing to the success of a student is their attitude, working smarter not harder, and being able to apply concepts learned to real life situations.
