The K-8 Concept

•The K-8 concept is a call to create a caring learning community by which members are totally committed to the school's educational philosophy, programs, policies and practices. It includes both primary and middle grades, in order to facilitate child-oriented programs conducive to young adolescent learning.

•K-8 structures are grounded in elementary philosophies in order to better meet the needs of young adolescent learners in a more personal environment.

•The K-8 program creates a setting that operates more like a community rather than a bureaucracy. It is an alternative to the traditional view of schools with emphasis on family-like relationships.

•The K-8 center provides a context for enhanced preparation for life, allowing students to thrive in a school environment that implements a challenging,academically sound curriculum.
