In middle school, we will not just patch up the cracks in the foundation; we will enhance and reinforce the strong elementary concept we’re building on. We will put up walls of support for an enriching environment that develop well-rounded individuals who are educated, unbiased and active citizens capable of critical thinking.

Our children will be empowered to confidently be themselves, make informed decisions, and contribute positively to our civil society. Our goal is for our children to be better than us.

By reinforcing the foundation laid in elementary school, we can empower our children to make informed decisions and start thinking how they can contribute positively to society.

In high school, our students will have the opportunity to explore their passions and make choices for their future. We will equip them with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen path while still prioritizing, and building on the fundamentals they learned in earlier stages.

Technological improvements are crucial, as parents need access to their children’s classes. By the time a child finishes third grade, they must read at least on the third grade level. Schools should prioritize smarter spending and identify the root cause of problems, such as inability to read and understand. Parents have the right to know how their tax dollars are spent.
