Belief Statements

At Darrington Academy, we believe that academic success or failure plays a major role in all aspects of a student’s life, and that by creating avenues for success in the classroom we are providing the foundation for future success in all areas of their lives.

We believe
           

• Many unwanted behavioral problems stem from feelings of academic inadequacy.
  


• Individuals must be accountable for their actions good or bad.
  


• In academics and life, success or failure is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
  


• All students can learn if provided with the appropriate learning environment.
  


• Academic success increases self esteem and self confidence, which enables students to withstand negative peer pressure.
  


• The Darrington Academy experience will strengthen self esteem and self discipline while improving critical and responsible thinking.
  


• Educating parents and children about values builds stronger families and provides the additional confidence and support necessary for students to engage in new worthwhile experiences.
