Mission
The mission of The Cypress School is to nurture, inspire and empower the individual child while instilling a passion for learning.
Nurture
We believe in providing a secure and nurturing environment for our students. It is essential for children to have unfaltering support from the adults in their lives. They need to know that there is always someone to pick them up when they fall, hold their hand as they take their first steps, and cheer them on as they venture into independence. With a solid support system, children develop the confidence needed to embrace all of the challenges that accompany growing and learning.
Inspire
We believe that all people, especially the very young, have an innate curiosity and sense of wonder about their world. At The Cypress School we tap into this desire for knowledge and inspire meaningful learning by building our curriculum around the interests of our students.
Empower
We believe that true empowerment comes from giving children a voice in their education. By helping to shape the focus of their learning, students at The Cypress School take an active role in their educational journey. From the earliest age, they learn that their ideas and opinions are meaningful, valued, and capable of influencing the world around them.
Vision
We believe that children are capable, motivated learners with limitless potential. The school environment should support self-discovery, creating opportunities for children to explore their interests and develop confidence in their abilities.
Learning is most meaningful when it occurs through in-depth exploration and investigation, allowing children to construct understanding through active engagement with the world around them.
We value and respect the thoughts, feelings, and achievements of every child, recognizing the unique contributions each individual brings to the learning community. Teachers and children are collaborators in the learning process, working together to ask questions, solve problems, and discover new ideas.
Documenting each child’s learning journey is essential, providing opportunities for growth, reflection, and continued development for children, families, and educators alike.
