Our Philosophy
The philosophy of the Presentation School is to build community
and reach out to the world in service through education. We
also strive build a strong spiritual foundation while embracing
the diversity of faiths that is represented at our school.
The entire faculty and staff are bound by common goals and aspirations, laying a foundation for a lifetime of achievement. Students here find an environment where academic achievement is valued and each child's individual interests are encouraged and rewarded.
We believe that school becomes an extension of each child's family; a small school with small class sizes translates into an ability for each teacher to develop insights that enhance the entire learning process for every student. Presentation provides a safe environment in which your child can explore ideas and feelings and you can be sure that your child will not be lost in the shuffle.
Choices, small classes, individual attention, close student-teacher relationships, ability to participate in interest areas, consistent and fair practices - these elements all work together to create happy students. Learning takes place when the learner is happy, feels trusted and knows that his or her school community appreciates their efforts.
