EXPECTATIONS

L-S-A (Learning, Serving & Achieving through Christ)

The faculty, with input from the board, parents and students, formulated learning goals known as Learner Expectations – L-S-As. These goals form the basis for the overall planning of policies and procedures and guide the teachers and administration in the development of classroom curriculum.

Students are expected to take an active role in their educational program, to be acquainted with the school L-S-As and to take responsibility for their learning.
