Philosophy~ The staff at Sheridan School believes that every child deserves the most positive educational environment possible for academic and social growth. We believe the foundation for such an environment, and for personal life-long success, is individual self-discipline. We believe the expectations for students behavior set forth below afford every child the opportunity to manage his or her own behavior while creating an environment in which teachers can teach and students can learn. These students expectations will be in effect at all times at Sheridan School.
