PERRYSBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT
PHILOSOPHY
The Board of Education believes that the purpose of education in the schools of the district is to facilitate the development of the potential of each child to the fullest. The school staff seeks to recognize individual differences and to engender achievement and progress, not only in basic skills but in the ability to think independently and critically.
The school staff is concerned with helping young people to understand what the American way of life means; to develop in themselves attitudes of respect and helpfulness toward others and to the environment; to want and to be able to perform well some portion of the work of the world and to acquire knowledge and skills necessary to do this with satisfaction to themselves and society; to understand and use effective methods in framing the questions and tackling the problems that they encounter in their lives to the end that they may function politically, economically, and socially in a democratic society.
The "Statement of Philosophy" of this District shall be a living document which reflects the contributions of staff members as well as the attitude and direction of the Board of Education.
