Terrific Teachers

One of my favorite quotes as an administrator is, “Every student deserves a great teacher, not by chance, but by design.” – Douglas Fisher

I like this quote because one of my main tasks at SPA is to make sure your child has a great teacher. Not just a teacher that challenges them to do their best academically but also one that cares deeply about them succeeding in all aspects of their life (social, emotional, spiritual).

You may not know, but unlike public schools (that have teacher tenure), our teachers are reevaluated every year and have informal and formal observations. We do this so that we can ensure your child is getting the best possible teacher they can have.

I want to know what is happening in the classroom. I feel confident in having the background knowledge to say (with proof) that we have fantastic teachers!
