Richland Academy: Our Philosophy


	We encourage critical thinking and creativity, we develop respect and independent thinking, and we see ourselves in the global context. We foster healthy and active individuals who have a conscious relationship with their natural environment. We nurture the pursuit of lifelong learning, the growth of personality, and the strengthening of character.

We place value in our school—in our natural, our built, and our social environments.
We take active roles in these environments to develop our independence, our respect, our courtesy, and our sense of leadership.

We communicate with each other.
We realize the importance of open communication—and how it helps us learn, develop new ideas, solve our problems, and keep us safe. We understand that feedback enables us to better ourselves and our school.

We manage our time wisely.
We ensure that we always live up to our responsibilities.


	We see the potential to learn from our staff, our students, and our parents—and we look beyond our curriculum to build our skills. We nurture creativity, personality, and the spirit of inner growth. We recognize the necessity of adaptation and evolution in the modern, globalized context.
