SPEAKING - WRITING - REPRESENTING  

At Lendrum we support this instructional focus through an enriching multi-sensory educational experience that develops true understanding of material, no matter its form -- written, spoken or physically/visually represented.  Our teachers employ higher level questioning in discussions and assignments so students experience a depth in comprehension beyond the superficial meaning of words on a page.  We challenge our students to demonstrate their skill in comparing, contrasting, sequencing, predicting, inferring, summarizing, and applying their understanding throughout the curriculum.  

School Philosophy
"In pursuit of excellence and dedication to life-long learning, Lendrum School encourages high standards of personal achievement and pride in success.  The child's potential is enhanced through challenging programming and meaningful experiences. We believe in a secure and supportive environment based on mutual respect, cooperation, and acceptance.  Students will be motivated towards responsible decision making and independent learning.  This is accomplished through the partnership of the child, parents, school and community.    

Our Commitment
We are committed to:

• creating a safe and trusting learning environment where everyone is treated with courtesy and respect     
• providing programming that respects and recognizes the various needs and learning styles of the students    
• challenging each student to strive for personal excellence      
• integrating students into regular classes where educationally appropriate
• enhancing students' belief in themselves as successful, independent learners        
• providing learning for the twenty-first century in the areas of scientific inquiry, research, problem-solving, and computer technology.
