Mission, Philosophy and Learning Expectations

Our Mission
Viewpoint School, an independent, coeducational school with grades from Kindergarten through Twelve, offers its students a rigorous college preparatory education in a nurturing environment. An integral part of the educational process at Viewpoint is the development of a love of learning and of those qualities which provide strength and direction for a lifetime. Viewpoint recognizes the uniqueness of each child and is committed to the identification, preservation, and development of that individuality. Viewpoint School teaches with respect the wisdom and traditions of the world's cultures and faiths. The School's philosophy is based upon the love of God and country, and is inspired by the Judeo-Christian values upon which our nation was founded.
Philosophy
Founded in 1961, Viewpoint School is a nondenominational, nonprofit day school. Young people grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally in the School's nurturing environment. Viewpoint offers a challenging academic program, emphasizing excellence and achievement, and providing individualized attention.
 
The School provides its students with the proper balance of knowledge and skills in critical thinking, while helping them to attain a healthy sense of self-esteem. This blend allows our children to become successful students in college and responsible adults capable of wise decision-making.
 
We believe in actively promoting ethical values among our students. We teach a respect for the rights and feelings of others and instill a spirit of community service in our students. Within this environment, students learn to value the differences among individuals and to appreciate the unique contributions each person adds to Viewpoint's diverse community.
 
Viewpoint believes that a sound education is a joint-enterprise involving the School and its faculty, our students, and their parents. Together we generate an eagerness to learn, a willingness to work diligently, and a desire to be active in the community. Students develop fundamental skills, an understanding of the subject matter, high standards for their work, and a sense of pride in their accomplishments.
