At W.C. Miller Collegiate, we believe. . .​

• learning involves the home, school, and community and extends for a student's lifetime.
• the best learning occurs when the physical, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, and social lives of our students are engaged.

Relationship:

• students need to know teachers care about them as people and that learning will flow from student-teacher relationships characterized by trust, mutual respect, and openness.
• learning is best facilitated in an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Relevance:

• wherever possible, learning should connect to life.

Risk-Taking:

• learning is fostered when students are given the opportunity to take risks and can learn through their mistakes.
• students experience greater success when they take responsibility for their learning.

Reaching all learners:

• students learn in diverse ways.
• all students can achieve success.
• a teacher's passion for learning is infectious and shapes the culture of the classroom.​
