PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Providing opportunities for experiencing a Renaissance of the Mind takes dedication and collaboration.  Together with the local Statesville business and service organizations, our professional staff aims to enable “free-to-risk learning.” From the unique and vibrant physical characteristics of our historical school building to the project-based, interactive curriculum, students are exposed to a superior liberal arts education.  Cooperative grouping and problem solving are basic components of our daily learning.  In addition, teachers facilitate a constructivist educational environment by incorporating the latest in technology-based learning, children’s literature, and cutting edge, hands-on professional practice.  The North Carolina Standard Course of Study provides a basic foundation for our learning objectives, but American Renaissance School is committed to expanding and extending these core requirements with a philosophy that invites discovery and inquiry - life long learning skills and thinking processes that ensure the possibility and reality of each individual’s continuous and ongoing Renaissance of the Mind.
