The Plymouth Public Schools' Educational Philosophy
In today's society, our children are continuously excited by new and challenging
stimuli; adaptability to change therefore becomes a paramount objective of learning.
The mastery of basic skills is essential to our children as they prepare to function as
responsible individuals. Children must also know how to direct their own learning by
mastering the skills of independent inquiry, because circumstances do not enable us
to predict, with certainty, just what today's children will need to know when they
become tomorrow's adults. The optimum environment should be sought so that each
child can develop physically and emotionally; and acquire the information academic
skills critical judgement and creativity needed to lead to a better understanding of
self, fellow humans, and the world around us.
The school system must continually strive to create, implement, and improve
programs that are compatible with traditional curricula and provide opportunities for
innovation in teaching and learning. If this accomplished, each child will, then, come
to realize more fully his own potential as an individual and be better prepared to
appreciate and act responsibly in the society in which he lives.
