Belief Statements Student success is the chief priority at the Ida B. Wells Academy learning community.
All students can learn at higher levels.
Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning. Students should be able to demonstrate not only their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but also should be actively involved in solving problems and producing qualitiy work. Students should be given opportunities to apply their knowledge in real life situations. Challenging and high expectations increase student, administrator, teacher, support staff, and parent performance, thereby increasing instances of appropriate student behavior. Teachers, support staff, administrators, parents, students and the community should share responsibility for advancing the school's mission.
