Our Mission Statement
Every child is eager to learn. The mission at Full of Grace Primary and Preschool (FOGPPS) is to keep this urge to learn alive in all students and educators. Our school was established to provide a quality education for the students and families that we serve. Our school follows a logical model of education which measures success by the accomplishments (growth and learning) and attitudes (excellence) of our students. We believe that all of our students can succeed, that their successes encourage them to continue in a pattern of success, and that it is the school's responsibility to provide the conditions for success.
These conditions include;
1. Develop clear statements in measurable terms of what the student will do to demonstrate mastery of learning.
2. Providing the time and resources needed for each student to attain mastery
3. Ensuring student engagement in learning at a level that is challenging and yet a level for which each student has the prerequisite skills necessary for success. We believe in providing aesthetically pleasing physical surroundings under the charge of a caring staff who believe their students will be successful, and who use time with the students as a resource for learning rather than as a boundary condition to determine when a unit of learning begins and ends.
4. We believe in providing resources such as books, learning materials, and educational technology. In the world, today children need to become proficient in the use of computers and related technology as tools to accomplish a myriad of tasks.
5. Finally, we believe in working with parents to encourage our students to adopt qualities of living that lead to success long after formal schooling has ended. These include universally accepted "success orientations" of trustworthiness, kindness/politeness, responsibility, independent endeavor, concern for others, group interaction, and aesthetic appreciation.
