Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.   Malcolm Forbes
At the Young School, we:
  • Incorporate high academic goals into a global perspective.
  • Maintain a low student/teacher ratio to ensure each child tutorial, individualized instruction.
  • Promote the child’s self-esteem and individuality in a warm, nurturing environment.
  • Model and teach honesty, compassion, respect, integrity, and humanitarian values.
  • Honor the child’s basic needs for personal expression and self-worth.
  • Embrace the motto “Love honestly, play fair, and laugh out loud!”
Recent studies indicate that a student’s academic success depends upon his or her relationship to the parents, and on the parents’ interest and involvement in their child’s school. We are a family-focused school in which teacher, student, and parents are equal partners.
