Policies

It is the mission of École Elizabeth Rummel School to maximize individual learning in each area of development: academic, social, physical, emotional, and creative. We do this by setting high standards for learning in a safe community that recognizes and accommodates learning differences, and fosters risk-taking, curiosity, and independence. We do this so that our students will become confident, successful, tolerant, accepting, respectful, and responsible contributors to society.

To succeed in our mission, our vision for learning includes instruction in:

1. Literacy and numeracy
2. Social Skills: Independent thinking, functional life skills, organizational tools
3. Respect: Listening, responsibility
4. Expectations: consistency, life long learning
