School Philosophy

  • We believe that with opportunity and acquisition of appropriate skills, children who are blind or visually impaired will be happy, successful learners.
  • We believe that innovative educational approaches and specialized tools and adaptations are essential for a positive learning environment.
  • We believe that a quality education includes academic achievement, guidance in attaining social confidence, and instruction in skills of everyday living that foster personal independence.
  • We believe that the academic program and specialized instruction in daily living and social skills are most meaningful when presented as an integrated curriculum, thus enabling each child to reach his or her fullest potential.
  • We believe that a specialized education during the early school years prepares children who are blind or visually impaired for a smooth transition into the regular school system and, ultimately, to lead full and independent lives in home, school, and community.
