We believe that more learning will occur if the student has a desire to learn, has positive feelings concerning his school environment, and succeeds in his work.  A comfortable atmosphere of caring and acceptance established by the school is considered important, so that each student is encouraged to strive for excellence and to be creative.  An aesthetically pleasing environment with a view to appreciation of beauty and order enhances this.  Each student's possibility of success increases when he works at the appropriate level of difficulty and senses positive expectations from his teachers.
