1020 Elementary School Philosophy of Education 1020
The Milford Elementary School is the beginning of a lifelong process of education for each child. The primary goal of the Elementary School is to promote the optimum development of each child according to his/her own ability, as an individual and as a member of a democratic society. We are responsible to create an atmosphere conducive to learning, encourage self-discipline, respect, and a desire to learn.
We are committed to providing a program of academic and social development which ensures challenge and success for each child. All available means and resource personnel are employed to understand the growth and assist in the development of every child in our school. Our concern is with the total child, and we strive to meet his/her intellectual, social, physical, and emotional needs.
In order to fulfill our commitment to the democratic principle of equal education for all students, staff members are encouraged to maintain open communication at all levels. This continuous open communication results in the establishment of appropriate curriculum and policies affecting the students, staff, and community.
