A WORD FROM THE HEADMASTER

 

Dear Parents:

 

The 2004/2005 school year will be successful if you(as parents) and the faculty and staff (as in-loco parentis) work as a team.  The following, along with other approaches, will be very important:

 

    • Give our children the necessary and proper examples to emulate.
    • Understand success is determined not so much by circumstances or abilities as by attitude.
    • A student is not finished when they are defeated; they are finished when they quit! 

One of the greatest lesson we can teach our children is to compete, to the best of their ability, at all times.  The world our children will enter is more competitive than ever.  We look forward to working with you and your child/children.

 

                                                                       

Respectfully,

 

 

John D. Rogers, Jr.

MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Board, Administration and Faculty of Thomas Heyward Academy believe learning can be rewarding and exciting, but not without effort. Students acquiring skills, concepts and information necessary to master a course must put forth effort.  Our goal is not to entertain children: parents can do so far more cheaply than sending them to Thomas Heyward Academy.

 

The philosophy of Thomas Heyward Academy is in accord with the conservative belief that no learning takes place without hard work.  The Academy’s primary mission is to educate students in the basic skills.  We cannot guarantee each student a quality education, only the opportunity to reach this goal through hard work, discipline and dedication.
