Educational Philosophy

A primary function of the Board of Education in District 91 is to provide educational programs for each student, giving them the opportunity to develop to their fullest capacity in the areas of mental, physical and emotional needs.

We also feel that the following goal statements represent the outcomes for a well-rounded education for District 91 students:

bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to attain (commensurate with cognitive abilities), optimum proficiency in reading, writing, listening, speaking, social studies, and math skills, both computational and problem solving.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop an understanding of self personality, strengths, weaknesses, physical well-being, and general capabilities.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop an ethical sense, which will help the personal manifestation of tolerance, kindness and justice to all others, as well as having respect for education.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop an appreciation for interpersonal relationships in the family, school, and in the community.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop skills for effective participation in the democratic processes.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the natural and physical environment, as well as science and technology of the future.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop economic competence as a consumer.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop salable skills and vocational competence.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to explore and develop an appreciation of the arts.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop wise use of leisure time.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop zeal for becoming a lifelong learner in a constantly changing world.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
bulletStudents will be provided the opportunity to develop personal conflict skills including resolution by problem solving skills.

We will strive to provide the citizens of this community with the most complete educational program possible. Every effort will be made to:

1. Make the best use of the physical plant that was provided by the taxpayers.

2. Secure, in the judgment of the Board of Education, the best personnel available.

3. Advise and inform the lay public from time to time of all school activities and to seek their advice.

4. Provide the highest type of moral, ethical and professional leadership.

5. Inform the employed personnel of any actions of the Board of Education pertinent to their particular interests.

6. Maintain priorities consistent with the educational goals and philosophy of the District.
