LREI Annual Report 2010-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS MISSION STATEMENT

Our goal is to educate students to become

independent thinkers and lifelong learners

and to pursue academic excellence

and individual achievement, in a

context of respect for others and service

to the community.

We believe that learning should be active

and experiential, with the school providing

abundant opportunities for students to

excel. We accept students with a range

of abilities and talents who can take

full advantage of a rich and demanding

academic program in which each student

is both challenged and supported.

We seek to create within the school

a community built on understanding

and respecting others. Thus, our student

and cultural diversity of our city, and

our curriculum is built on inter-disciplinary

studies to promote understanding of many

cultures. While individual achievement

is encouraged and rewarded, our program

underscores the value of shared goals,

friendship and cooperation in mastering

The progressive ideals that in 1921

gave life and inspiration to the school –

academic excellence and creativity,

active learning and innovative teaching,

respect for the individual and responsibility

to the community – continue to guide

the school today.
