2007-2008 Generalizations

Exploration is necessary for growth.

Exploration requires recognizing purpose and responding to it.

Exploration confronts the unknown.

Exploration may result in new findings or the confirmation of old findings.

Exploration encompasses an element of risk.

The mission for the Laboratory School is to provide a differentiated instructional program for identified fourth and fifth grade students. Our program will foster the unique abilities and talents of the students so that they are able to realize their maximum potential and become productive leaders and citizens of the community. This will be accomplished by emphasizing higher order thinking skills, problem solving, communication, research skills, creativity, self-awareness, and peer interaction.
