Educating The Whole Child
Mind
Students of strong MIND are able to succeed in rigorous academic classes because they have a strong foundation of basic skills combined with deep conceptual understanding, sharp critical thinking, and intellectual perseverance. They also exhibit curiosity, a love of learning, and creativity.
Body
Students who are strong in BODY are physically fit, have healthy eating and sleeping habits, and value choices that lead to life-long health and well-being. Ideally this means that students engage in strenuous daily physical activity and understand the importance of good nutrition.
Spirit
Students who are strong in SPIRIT exhibit self-confidence and compassion for others and value being part of a nurturing community. At FirstLine our students, parents, teachers and staff practice gratitude and caring along with achievement traits such as grit and conscientiousness.
