EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
 
Paige Academy is a non-profit, alternative educational institution, offering a comprehensive, culturally affirming and developmentally based Arts, Sciences, Humanities and Technology program for children ages Birth to 12 years.
 
Based on the seven principles of Kwanza - an African American philosophy that promotes, unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith - Paige Academy's educational philosophy and campus culture provide a self affirming environment that fosters academic excellence, individual worth and collective responsibility. Paige is committed to providing arts based, child friendly, project centered education that involves the whole family in an "urban village" community of cultural reaffirmation and ethnic understanding.
 

Paige embraces the concept that an ethnically abundant educational community enhances the quality of a child's academic and intellectual experience. In keeping with this philosophy, Paige seeks to create a stimulating tapestry of diversity in its community of students, parents, staff and faculty. Paige employs a multi lingual, international teaching and administrative staff that represents the many people and cultures of the Diaspora.
 
Paige Academy is committed to maintaining an educational community that is inclusive of and responsive to families of varying economic levels and educational backgrounds. Paige seeks to celebrate the economic, educational and cultural richness of its "urban village" by considering parents, students, staff and faculty to be members of a supportive and respectful extended family.
