STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
At McRoberts, we believe:
    •  schools should be for all learners;
    •  all students should have a school program which is challenging;
   •  addressing the needs of high-ability learners should not be confined to one specialized program option, but should be built
       around the strengths, interests and needs of the individual student;
    •  programming for learners should address the needs of the whole child - affective, social and cognitive; and
    •  learning needs to change with age.
