PHILOSOPHY OF LEE-SCOTT ACADEMY
Lee-Scott Academy is a college preparatory school committed to excellence in
our total educational program. The founders of the Academy firmly believed that
a quality education that leads to productive, purposeful, and fulfilled lives must
be based upon the truths of God, as revealed in Jesus Christ and proclaimed in
the Bible. They further held that hard work, pursuit of knowledge, integrity,
sacrifice, citizenship, and prayer are qualities that define America’s heritage and
are essential to the well-rounded development of students. We share these
convictions, and they remain fundamental to our school’s philosophy of
education.
Believing that preparation is important in every endeavor, we equip our
students for success in college and in life by emphasizing English, mathematics,
history, geography, science, foreign languages, computer application, fine arts,
and work and study skills. In addition to a challenging and balanced academic
curriculum, we value the benefits of athletic programs and other extracurricular
activities that promote the students’ sense of character, responsibility, fair play,
teamwork, and commitment.
We know that children study, learn, interact, and participate best when in a
safe environment. We not only emphasize our children’s physical safety, but we
also desire that they be emotionally secure. We believe that our staff, teachers,
and coaches should be positive role models for our children and should be
sensitive to the needs of each student. Because we believe that schools and
parents must work together, we encourage parental involvement. In return, we
expect our students to learn respect for authority, to become accountable for
their actions, and to exhibit self-discipline.
We desire unity of spirit and purpose at Lee-Scott Academy and believe that
encouragement of others is a key to achieving that unity. We want all of our
students to be encouraged and treated with respect by their fellow students. We
believe that God created each of us in a unique and special way and intends that
we appreciate the individuality of others. Consequently, our school is open to all
qualified students without regard to race, color, or national and ethnic origin.
We believe the Mission Statement and this Statement of Philosophy are vital to
the life and direction of Lee-Scott Academy, but words alone do not ensure
success. We expect to be measured by our actions and by the lives of our
graduates in their service to God, their families, and their communities.
