Teaching Philosophy

The goal of Blooming Grove Academy is to educate children to be successful in life. In our minds, the building blocks are the 4R’s:

Responsibility

We believe that learning responsibility is a primary goal of education. A child who learns to be responsible for his/her actions will grow into an adult who is responsible. To be successful, this process must start early.

Respect

Respect means an appreciation for the worth of others and of yourself. Self-respect is the foundation of success and we strongly encourage each student, faculty member, and parent to show respect for others and for themselves.

Resourcefulness

Students learn to become aware of and to use all available personal and material resources to enhance their skills and abilities. Resourcefulness and creativity are valued traits in cooperative group work, projects and school assignments, on the playground, and when solving problems.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness means concern for others. We believe that for society to succeed, a sense of caring for others must be a permanent part of this fabric of society. We want our children to care for their classmates, parents, teachers, and the rest of the world beyond school.
