TEACHERS

All teachers at Majestic Harbor not only have the required pedagogical training but also detailed knowledge of the subject matter they teach. We instill in all children an ethic of toleration, civility, orderliness, responsibility, and hard work. Our staff has agreed on a definite core of knowledge and skill that all children will attain in each level. We make sure that every child learns this core, and gains specific knowledge and skill needed to prosper at the next level, thus enabling knowledge to build upon knowledge. Our teachers continually confer with their colleagues about effective ways of stimulating children to learn and integrate this specific knowledge and skill. The specificity of our goals enables us to monitor children, and give focused attention where necessary. To this end, we provide parents with a detailed outline of the specific knowledge and skill goals for each level, and we stay in constant touch with them regarding the child’s progress. Through this knowledge-based approach, we make sure that all children perform at level. In addition, the most talented children are challenged to excel. Attaining this specific and well-integrated knowledge and skill gives our children pleasure in learning, as well as self-respect, and it ensures that they will enter the next level or grade ready and eager to learn more.

Each member of our faculty has training in Early Childhood Education. They have been carefully chosen for their exceptionally warm hearts, their genuine love for children and their desire to assist in the academic, social and emotional development of our students. Every staff member brings a unique background that contributes something special to MHCS. They are all nurturing professionals who are trained in health, safety and education.

Our teachers create activities and projects appropriate for each child, ask stimulating questions, provide challenges and assist our students in searching for answers, solutions and opportunities. The relationships between our teachers and students are based on mutual respect and trust.

At MHCS, we are invested in the physical and emotional health and well- being of our students just as much as we are in their academic development. When they hurt, we hurt for them, and when they are thrilled, we are thrilled for them. We love each child for their individual quirks, for the smiles they bring us and the songs that they sing for us. And when they leave us to move on to bigger and better things, we miss them dearly, for each one of them has become a part of us.
