The Corporation is additionally concerned with the total development of each child including social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and artistic development. Children differ from each other in a wide variety of attributes, such as their talents, interests, cultural background, life experiences, abilities, and the rate at which they learn. The Corporation recognizes these individual differences and the importance of relating instruction to each student's achievement, ability, intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative growth and development. Appropriate provisions shall be made for gifted and talented students as well as those students who experience physical, intellectual, or emotional disabilities. The learning environment must reflect a genuine concern for students as individuals, their problems and needs, and their relationship to others. Order, structure, and discipline are necessary to a feeling of security and a successful climate of learning. This positive climate will allow the individual an optimum opportunity to develop a sense of self-confidence and motivation to learn and succeed. The skills of reading, composition, computation and thinking are basic to the acquisition of knowledge and are of prime concern.
