Vision
Creating a community of learners.
Mission
Through the continuous collaboration of the staff and community, Timberland Charter Academy strives: To provide each child with a safe, supportive learning environment. To foster the personal, social, and academic growth of every child. To develop respect and responsibility for oneself and others. Thus enabling each child to become a lifelong learner, responsible adult and productive citizen.
Educational Philosophy
Every teacher should respect individual learning styles –willing to go the extra mile to reach each student. Curriculum should be flexible to incorporate these different learning styles by differentiating instruction. Abilities, interests and cultural aspects must also be addressed in an appropriate yet nurturing way. Hands-on, concrete experience is the most natural form of learning. Students should be aware of acceptable behavior and consequences when the rules are not followed. A school is NO substitute to a strong stable home; it is however, a place to foster accountability, responsibility, respect and care. The best approach to ensure our students reach their greatest potential is a collaborative one that continually addresses the needs of the children, their families, the school and the community.
