PHILOSOPHY

We believe every child is a special and unique individual who has a right to be in a classroom environment that reflects love, care, mutual respect, and develops and protects the integrity of the child. The decisions at Victoria School will above all be made in the best interest of the students. Individual differences, abilities, and circumstances must be considered recognizing that to be fair and just, does not always mean treating everyone the same. We will make every effort to meet the individual needs of each child. This is why we work so hard, plan so carefully, keep our patience, hold our tongues, and make the tough decisions because our students are worth our effort.

Teaching is a very honourable profession, and very few others have the opportunity to significantly touch the lives of so many impressionable young people. Nothing is so dear to parents as their children, and they have entrusted us with the task of preparing them to live productively in a complex society. Not only are we concerned with their education, but in helping to develop self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, to themselves, to others, and to the Earth. This is a responsibility we will not take lightly.

Our daily actions must demonstrate compassion and respect for the rights and feelings of others. As a caring society, we share an awareness that, as individuals, our greatest strength may be to use our gifts and talents for the benefit of others.

We are proud of what we do, and sincerely believe that we have the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of our students.
