We therefore include in our educational process the parents, as well as all others, who contribute to the total education of the student. Our educational objective is to serve all students who seek admission, in identifying their needs, to provide a variety of programs to serve those needs and interests, thus providing for a comprehensive educational process that fosters the development of the student as a whole person.
