PHILOSOPHY

The faculty and staff of Rosemont Elementary School affirm their commitment to excellence in education.

In our school program we strive to provide a balanced curriculum emphasizing academic and social growth and integrating the ideals of democracy and citizenship. We provide the opportunity for the students to have their needs met as they develop individual abilities in a democratic atmosphere; an atmosphere where the students can contribute to and be part of the whole. The culmination of our efforts is to instill in our students a lifelong love of learning.

We believe that all elementary children should develop an understanding of the past and identification with the present to meet the challenges in an ever-changing world and to become responsible, ethical members of our society. In order for us to realize our objectives, we recognize the need for the cooperative efforts of the student, school, home, and community.
