The school opened in 1998 with approximately 300 students. We currently have about 475 students, and there are more than 500 students on our waiting list for next year. The mission of Littleton Preparatory Charter School is to provide an academically rigorous, content-rich education in a safe, orderly, and caring environment. The school uses a combination of Direct Instruction and Core Knowledge. We are in the process of developing programs in literature and English composition and grammar to serve our students once they have graduated from our basal programs.
Students earn letter grades in all subjects.
We are also developing comprehensive mastery tests to enable our teachers at each grade level to coordinate their activities from classroom to classroom and grade level to grade level. We have one building with ample room. With the completion of our renovation this year, we now have two new science labs, a gymnasium, and additional rooms for small-group instruction. Effective foreign-language teaching methods.
