Accelerated Reader
In its 10th year, the AR program is making great strides. The teachers work with their students to set AR goals. When the students meet their goals, we celebrate their success with a reward each quarter. The Reading Committee looks forward to a successful 2012-2013 school year!
STRIVE for Excellence
STRIVE is the character education program for Charter Schools USA. Throughout the year, teachers and students participate in service projects that demonstrate active citizenship in our community. Some projects include collecting Toys for Tots and creating care packages for our soldiers. Our teachers imbed the STRIVE 65 character traits into their daily lessons and select a STRIVE Student of the Month. The students receive recognition at our monthly STRIVE Student of the Month ceremony and participate in a quarterly celebration.
