SOAR Charter Middle School’s focus is to offer students a challenging curriculum based upon their interests and post-secondary goals. Learning is interdisciplinary and self-directed. Although students with varying academic abilities find success at SOAR Charter Middle School, this charter is not specifically designed for the at-risk or gifted and talented learner.
Interdisciplinary learning emphasizes the connection between traditionally discrete disciplines. Learning is organized around themes, problems, and issues in order for the student to solve challenges, answer questions, or create products. Topic driven seminars will address the academic standards of multiple subject areas.
In addition to mastering core academics, students will learn and practice skills related to global awareness, entrepreneurship, civic and health literacy, and environmental stewardship. Through a variety of modes, 21st century learners develop skills in innovation, information/media, technology, and life/careers. As the 21st century will demand more from each of us, SOAR Charter Middle School wants to prepare students for any and all of these continued challenges.
Students at SOAR Charter Middle School have individual flexible schedules with the majority of the day spent on site. Students attend school Monday through Thursday from 8:45 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and Friday is focused on community service, project work, and mentor collaboration. Room and staff are available outside of these hours.
