Philosophy of Education

​

The V.V. Reid Elementary School believes that a quality education is more than learning mass facts and figures.  Our goal is to offer an quality academic curriculum that will develop the "whole" child socially, emotionally, physically, mentally, aesthetically, and spiritually. This holistic approach to education suggests that every child must be given the opportunity and the encouragement required to develop to his/her maximum potential.  We believe that Christian examples and instruction should be used to help the child learn to cope in the world in which he/she lives.  We believe that the school is the vehicle for the child to develop an awareness and appreciation of his/her environment and the world surrounding that environment. Therefore, V.V. Reid School is:



  • God-Glorifying - recognizing that all of life must be seen from God's eternal purpose of creating a people for Himself - a people who will love Him freely without reservation and who will worship Him, giving honor and glory befitting to him and recognizing that all children are precious in His sight.
     

  • Christ-Centered - recognizing and celebrating that there is no area of life over which Christ is not central.
     

  • Parental Lead - recognizing God who in His wisdom, entrusts His children to parents who He holds accountable to bring His children up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."  The teachers and staff at V.V. Reid are keenly aware of the high privilege of assisting parents in their quest to educate our children to God's glory.
