PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT 
The staff of Pioneer Elementary School believes: 
The mission of education is to provide appropriate instruction to all students so that they may realize their full potential as successfully 
functioning and contributing members of society. 
The objective of instruction is to help students to learn how to learn and develop a love of learning so that students may become 
learners for life. 
All students can learn when provided with a positive physical, emotional and social climate. 
Students differ in their talents, interests, cultural background, life experiences, abilities, learning styles, and learning rates, therefore, 
a variety of methods and approaches are desirable in responding to their needs. 
The dignity, integrity, and rights of each student must be observed and protected. 
The goal of instruction is excellence and can best be achieved through a partnership of the school, parents, students, and community 
with open and direct communication. 
This partnership exists when each component fulfils their roles to the best of their ability and is given an opportunity to express their 
points of view regarding the obtaining of the school’s goals. 
Students should be provided opportunities and guidance in problem solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills to function 
successfully as citizens in today’s society. 
Students should be provided with opportunities for self-growth and initiative. 
Measurable educational objectives are desirable for the guidance of the educational program, instructional accountability, and program 
development.
