Vision 2020: Gifted and Exceptional
-
Leadership is a concept most don’t normally embrace when thinking of children. At Cheviot School, we create leaders by helping students discover their own strengths and allowing them to shine. As a Leader in Me school, our students apply author Steven Covey’s "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," which helps them unleash their potential to lead lives that positively influence others.
We cultivate top scholars through proven teaching methods used to spark each student’s natural interest in learning — laying a strong foundation for high school and beyond. Our formula helps students learn to think critically, work collaboratively and act boldly — preparing them for leadership when their opportunities arise.
