White Hill Guiding Beliefs
An understanding of the intellectual, social, physical, ethical and emotional characteristics of the early adolescent is critical to effective learning and teaching in the middle grades
Young adolescents need strong caring and supportive relationships with adults and peers as they increasingly make decisions and choices that affect their lives now and in the future
Student’s need for social interaction and their physical energy are qualities to be engaged and used for learning
Young adolescents are ready to be challenged to contribute in significant ways to society
Involvement of families as partners is critical to the success of our school and our students.
