CORE Community School serves students in grades 6-12 that have some factor(s) interfering with their success. We help our students to “know their own strength” by:
- Nurturing and developing our students’ academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness
- Providing a safe, supportive learning environment
- Developing perspective and compassion in our students through opportunities to genuinely connect with and give back to the community
- Helping students better understand and manage their own learning profile
- Guiding students to discover their identity, passions and purpose
- Empowering parents to be effective, accountable learning partners in their child’s life
CORE Beliefs
- All kids can learn, despite diagnoses, labels or previous negative learning experiences
- Kids learn best when they know and understand their own learning
- Kids learn best when they are comfortable, but challenged
- Kids learn best when they feel a sense of meaningful connection at school
- Understanding can and should be shown in a variety of different ways
- The community is an extension of the classroom
- School should be a genuinely diverse environment that welcomes families of all socio-economic backgrounds
- Kids need consistent opportunities for self-reflection and expression
- Physical Education should be a part of every school day
- Identity development is just as important as academic
- Teachers should be lifelong learners that value real connection with students
- Parents are ideal learning partners who need the knowledge and support to fulfill this role
