We want every student to leave Trinity Lutheran
School with skills in basic communication, critical thinking, reasoning,
analysis, and synthesis, because these are the tools of an educated
person. We are rooted in the Lutheran-Christian tradition, doctrine,
and associated moral and ethical values. We consider our school community
an integral part of the Northern SLO county and in it we strive for
responsibility, forgiveness, friendliness, and social awareness.
Trinity
Lutheran School's faculty and staff strive to create in the student
body a sense of both support and structure. Through our approaches
to instruction and to discipline, we try to communicate to all
students a sense of their self worth and pride, and success in
all endeavors, school related or not. We seek to establish a partnership
with parents and open communication between home and school.
We do this in the
following ways:
† Foster
a teaching environment that is safe, comfortable and nurturing
† Develop
instructional practices that balance independent creativity and structured
learning
† Have
a curriculum that includes core skills and knowledge, moral and religious
training, physical education, and time for the creative and performing
arts
† Offer
an extracurricular program that extends classroom learning
† Create
a school community that believes in respect, thoughtfulness, and
empathy for others as well as an awareness of our role in the larger
community, and
† Use
disciplinary procedures which teach students responsible behavior
and emphasizes contriteness and forgiveness; we allow students to
retain their innate dignity at all times
As
we look to the future we will continue to research and utilize
new learning theories and instructional processes and implement
a curriculum that is flexible in approach, resources, scheduling,
and content. We will continue to develop facilities to enhance
the learning environment and accommodate our student body.
