Educational Programs
Our guiding principle is "All Children Can Learn: If Educators have the will to Educate Children; The Children Will Learn." Therefore, the educational programs for our schools are designed to cultivate a love for learning that will lead to scholarship-and eventually to high school graduation. The integration of arts and academics is essential to us. Our teachers will use the arts to teach academics, and academics to teach the arts. Parents/Caregivers will contribute systematically to curriculum development by giving their perspectives on topics as well as methods of presenting those topics at the school. Children will also share this responsibility. As a result of these strategies, the curriculum will be enhanced, enriched, and more relevant to our children.

As an inclusive model, all instruction will involve team teaching and children will be grouped together in mixed ability groups in small learning communities where they can learn from their peers as well as their instructors. Special needs children may receive additional support in individual or small group sessions.

The community, including a wide variety of arts-related and support service agencies, organizations, and institutions will be actively involved in the life of the schools.
Our mentors monitor our ninth grade graduates who reside within a 50 mile radius of the schools until they complete high school

Our Curriculum
In order to help all children meet and exceed state performance standards our curriculum provides:

• Rigorous, comprehensive and developmentally appropriate study in mathematics, science/heath, music, fine arts, citizenship, reading, language arts, social studies, history, and life skills development;
• Hands-on project based instruction;
• The arts integrated throughout the academic curriculum;
• Technology integrated throughout the curriculum with emphasis on literacy;
• Meaningful parent involvement and decision making; and
• Character-based Life Skills Instruction and Discipline Program.

Goals
Too many children from all ethnic backgrounds do not complete high school including white males. We aim to increase literacy and graduation rates of all urban children. In this pursuit, we will decrease discipline problems that result in suspensions or expulsions, and the achievement gap between urban and majority children.
