  Philosophy

Boyet Jr. High school is committed to the basic philosophy of a child-centered school with emphasis on the academic, physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development of the whole child. We believe that we should provide and enkindle a balanced program that puts the child first and helps each student develop into an informed and responsible citizen--capable of finding his place in a rapidly changing and mobile society; alive to the American democratic process; endowed with the moral dimensions needed to sustain our civilization; capable of using for enrichment and esthetic fulfillment his increased leisure time; thereby producing an individual who can enjoy a productive, useful, and happy life.

To translate this philosophy into actuality, our program is broad in scope and provides a wide range in rate, timing, and potential for learning that exists in children.

We see junior high years as crucial ones in the educational process, the preadolescent and early adolescent years being fraught with the problems of growing up and self- identification. Therefore, we seek to instill a sense of love, self-worth, belonging, and recognition as individuals within a pleasant atmosphere where school can be an enjoyable experience. Believing that Boyet students can be the best, our philosophy puts our students first, while accepting individual differences in each other so that all students will learn.

To meet continuously changing needs, we believe that we must constantly adjust our philosophy so that the experience provided for the growth of the student will truly meet his individual needs.

Boyet Jr. High School, a public school serving 7th and 8th grade students in St. Tammany Parish, is committed to creating and providing a safe, secure environment conducive to learning; providing quality child-centered education with an emphasis on academics and technology that will provide for students needs through regular education, special classes, and inclusion; and providing an atmosphere and support system which will allow students to develop into self-confident, actualizing individuals.

Our future builds upon our past, and upon our diversity, as we seek to provide opportunities for all student to realize their full potentials.
