At Breakwater School, teachers, parents, and children are partners in a celebration of learning.  Understanding that early school experiences create the foundation for future learning, we encourage children to:

• Develop their intellects and explore their imaginations
• Ask questions as well as seek solutions
• Speak individually, yet work collaboratively 
• Investigate the ways in which they work the best
• Take intellectual and personal risks in a safe environment
• Act as responsible citizens in our community and in the world 
• Value diversity and practice tolerance
• Embrace joy and wonder
• Aspire to be lifelong learners
