Philosophy: Character |
| |
Self, individual others, and community |
| |
|
By creating an atmosphere that values and celebrates individual and cultural diversity,
the Arbor School provides a seedbed for each student to develop a strong sense of
self-worth and sensitivity to others. We support children's emerging capacities for
positive social action: cooperation, empathy, and responsibility. Our goals for
character development are based on the child's growing sense of self, understanding
of individual others, and participation in the community.
