Our Philosophy

At Whitehouse Preparatory School, we believe that all children are endowed with unique gifts and qualities that, if properly nurtured, will allow them to excel and achieve wonderful things in life. In this respect, education is more than simply imparting information and skills from teacher to student; rather, true education is seen as a two-way process whereby the teacher serves as the catalyst for drawing out of her students their unique qualities and abilities.

The teacher, in effect, serves as a facilitator who works alongside each student, much like a coach who gently encourages an athlete to perform to his or her fullest potential. This process of drawing out a child’s unique qualities is accomplished best by sparking within each student his or her own passions and by allowing them to discover and embrace their own creativity.
