We believe that students are encouraged to be responsible for their own learning in a challenging, supportive environment. We encourage a commitment to life-long learning. The learning experiences build confidence, independence and interpersonal skills. Student learning inspires the students to use their strengths in a responsible way to contribute to the invention of the future. Evergreen's curriculum is designed to nurture childrens' advancement through the progressive stages of social and intellectual development. Students are presented with a wide variety of experiences and materials. They are encouraged to develop confidence and skill in all areas, to find challenges, and to test their talents in new and original ways. As they mature, students are expected to take increasing responsibility for their learning. Committed to the development of the whole child, Evergreen teachers also provide opportunities for the growth of positive self-concept and awareness of self and personal values. The school community has a family atmosphere which is expressed in close relationships between teachers and students. By balancing a program of strong personal development with an expanding focus on the world, Evergreen fosters an appreciation of individual and cultural. An Evergreen education prepares students to make a positive impact on the future. Students are expected to pursue excellence, both academically and personally, and to show concern and respect for others in the world in which they live.
