We welcome and encourage the involvement of our children, parents, and faculty, and the ideas and energy they bring to the challenge of realizing the special vision of education we share for our children.

The purpose of this statement is to explain our beliefs about teaching and learning, our goals for our children, and how these goals and beliefs guide the everyday activities in our classrooms.

We Treat Children As Individuals PDF Print E-mail
Children are individuals, having their own unique physical, social, and intellectual characteristics. Children of the same age vary widely in learning style and development maturity. Morgantown Learning Academy fosters an environment of flexibility for academic progression. A child can learn at his or her own pace and is encouraged to extend learning from an activity as far as he or she is able. We provide the opportunity for children to go beyond expected school norms. MLA has adopted Individual Student Plans (ISP) which allows parents and teachers to make informed decisions together concerning the goals, objectives, and learning approach that best meets the needs of their child and student. These ISPs allow parents, teachers, and students to monitor expectations and progress.
