SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
HFCS students are the future leaders of society and will assume a role in establishing a more just and peaceful world. Therefore, we strive to develop in each child a positive and well-balanced self-image. We encourage each child to become a lifelong learner and to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and values in order to live cooperatively and responsibly in this world.
