Philosophy

PHILOSOPHY - LITTLE MIAMI LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

The philosophy of education in the Little Miami Schools is based upon the belief that the children are one of the most valuable resources in any community, city, or nation. The maximum educational development of each student is our ultimate objective, and we formulate our curriculum around two major premises.

First, we endeavor to equip our youth with the increasingly complex knowledge and skills to prepare them for vocations or for further formal education in college and professional schools. Second, we strive to introduce our children to practices and ideals of personal and group behavior that perpetuate and advance the aims and benefits of a democratic way of life.

We believe that the major purpose and goals of education are all inclusive and should be centered around the individual needs and natures of our school children.

BUTLERVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The Butlerville Elementary School staff members realize that the children we are working with and for are individuals, and that in many instances this is their first experience in social living.

Our desired goal in working with all children is growth. We attempt to create a stimulating environment for each child which will arouse their interests and curiosity, thus promoting optimal learning. This learning will incorporate the development of academic, relationship, and citizenship skills which are required for functioning in our society. We attempt to help all children develop these skills, along with the attitudes which will make them productive citizens tomorrow.
