 Management                                                                                                                            Section 2

The School is managed by a dedicated professional management team with many
years of service and expertise. The objective of the Academy's Management Team is to provide the best possible education for each individual student.

Parents do not take an active part in School management but are encouraged to participate in a broad range of school functions.  The Cougar Mountain Academy philosophy maintains that parents and School are to work hand in hand on a parallel course, fulfilling complimentary but independent roles in developing the child's future. 

This dedicated and centralized management style combined with proper
School/Parent teamwork not only assures a future of promise but has also stood the
test of time by giving Cougar Mountain Academy a history of over four decades of fiscal stability, a continuous level of academic excellence and an unwavering goal-oriented direction of pursuing the Academy's motto of  'Excellentissima ratio educandi'.
