We seek to sustain an educational community where an emphasis on academic excellence is complemented by our concern for each learner’s personal growth and intellectual, aesthetic, and psychological development. The curriculum is developmentally responsive – actively engaging students in learning skills in context, integrative – directing students to connect learning to daily lives, and exploratory – enabling students to discover their abilities, interests, learning styles, and ways that they can make contributions to society.

Drew's notes:

This is a wish list budget on the MS side. The HS budget is pretty much true to cost.

I have the estimated revenue needed at the bottom. 

 

Note: Glavine and the bball crew have donated this year's stipends to go towards next year's revenue goals.
