EXPECTED SCHOOLWIDE LEARNING RESULTS (ESLRs)

In 2007, the faculty, with input from the board, parents and students, formulated learning goals known as ESLRs (Expected Schoolwide Learning Results).  These four goals form the basis for the overall planning of policies and procedures and guide the teachers and administration in the development of classroom curriculum.

Students are expected to take an active role in their educational program, to be acquainted with the school ESLRs and to take responsibility for their learning.  The goal for LSA students as they complete the course of study at La Sierra Academy, is that they will be:
