The unique challenges of inner city schools require unique solutions. Our State Charter enables us to build-in institutional flexibility in order to implement educational innovations that succeed. In addition, the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce and the school agree to place every qualified student in a paid, part-time job with a mentor and prepare them for college. Parents are also a part of the successful education equation, and they participate at the heart of our program, meeting with teachers during the day. They must be involved and dedicated to help the student stay focused.
Students bring a commitment to change.
In exchange for increased opportunity, however, students must commit themselves to fulfilling the requirements of the school. Every student makes a contractual agreement to. The application process also ensures that students are dedicated to ideals of the school. Balancing core competency with work study. In keeping with the approach of our Charter, we are implementing a four-year program that includes the basics as well as career skills.
