Your philosophy will discuss the specifics of your school, including exactly how you will educate the students who attend.  In your philosophy, you will explore five different aspects of your educational beliefs, and address them in five separate paragraphs.  Your focus for each paragraph is outlined below.

​

Paragraph 1: As you design and plan your school, what are your overall goals for students?  Why are you creating a school that functions like yours does?

​

Paragraph 2: Consider your student population.  Who is served by your school?  Is it a public, charter or private school?  Describe the admissions process (how do students get admitted to your school?).  What kinds of students are best served by your school?

​

Paragraph 3: Describe your school's campus.  Where is your school?  What building(s) does it encompass?  How does your school's design help you to meet your overall goals and ideals?  

​

Paragraph 4: What will your school teach students?  How will they learn this information?  What kinds of approaches will your teachers/school take in teaching/communicating this to your students?

​

Paragraph 5: How will you know if your school is doing an effective job at teaching its students?  What will you do if students are not doing well?  What will you do if students already know the information presented?  How will you help them grow as learners and as people?
