At VBFS, this belief is reflected in an open-minded approach to curriculum and teaching, in an emphasis on critical thinking skills, and in a developmental approach to children and learning.  Work on individual skills and knowledge is balanced with group learning, in which each person's unique insights contribute to a collective understanding.
