PHILOSOPHY

The following beliefs summarize the educational attitudes of the Center of Independent Learning, Inc.:

• Parents are the primary educators of their children. They are basic role models for all learning. The role of teachers is to support parents and students in the educational process.
• Learning takes place at different rates for each person. 
• People have individual learning styles, stengths and weaknesses.
• Learning needs to be relevant to everyday living.
• Learning involves critical thinking and processing information, which the student owns as his or her own. It is much more than mere memorization of facts.
• Learning takes place when the student questions the information as true or not.
• People learn when they are part of a loving, accepting and challenging environment that does not put limitations on learning.
• Learning takes place when there is no fear of failing or succeeding.
• Learning is an adventurous, continuous process and journey.
