Philosophy of Kenansville Elementary School

We at Kenansville Elementary School believe in our motto, "Making It Happen for Kids." Our primary focus is academic achievement.  We strongly support the vision that clarifies our programs:  "All Children can Learn."  We also believe that it is our responsibility to do "whatever it takes" to ensure the highest level of academic success for each child.  The staff emphasizes traditional instructional strategies, yet, current innovative practices are also an important part of our total school program.  Our school leadership team is a model of participatory decision making skills.  Teamwork and supportive collegial relationships nurture and encourage the implementation of innovative curriculum practices.  We believe that in doing the above, we will provide each student with a safe, pleasant, well-equipped learning environment that will ensure the physical, mental, academic, moral, and social needs of the children who are part of this community.
