History and Philosophy:

The Longview School opened in September 2000. The philosophy is based on the belief that by reinvesting students into the educational process and by rekindling their curiosity, they become lifelong learners. The long term goal is that each student will not only explore the educational opportunities available to them, but take part in a myriad of activities that explore their own values.
