IN CONCLUSION
Our program enhancements at CSA provide
more opportunities for students to grow and
excel in all four areas of their development as a
child, cognitive, physical, social-emotional, and
spiritual/moral.
When we teach to all four of these areas, we are
teaching to the whole child, and making use of
the whole child developmental approach.
