Teaching Excellence
The school's most important resources, of course, are our teachers -
highly qualified, caring individuals who make each child
their top priority. Unlike many private schools, Congressional requires
that all teachers
from Early Childhood onward be certified in their
field and pursue continuing professional development. In addition, teachers
are required
to meet national technology standards as part of their
certification. Our teachers' long-term dedication to school and students
translates into
a stable learning environment.
Access to these talented people, at the center of a child's education,
is essential. By phone, e-mail, and voice mail, Congressional
teachers can easily be reached for any reason. Meetings with parents
are
scheduled twice a year, but of course parents can arrange
a conference whenever they wish.
Congressional encourages and facilitates parent interaction
whenever and wherever possible.
