We believe that public schools can be fun, academically challenging, socially enriching, and embrace the diverse lived experiences of everyone in the community. City Charter Schools prepare students with the social-emotional skills, cultural competence, and academic achievement to navigate the challenges, opportunities, and relationships they will encounter beyond our walls. We hold all students to high expectations, while providing them with a supportive community and immersive project-based learning experience that spark their curiosity and deeper thinking about meaningful real-world problems. City Charter Schools graduates are self-aware, reflective individuals who can draw on social-emotional competencies, cultural competency, and critical thinking ability to thrive personally, and positively impact their communities. CORE VALUES Educational Excellence: Instruction reflects high expectations, inspires curiosity, builds critical skills and promotes deeper thinking to drive achievement and close opportunity gaps. Diversity: We build intentionally diverse, welcoming, and equitable learning communities where students and staff develop self-awareness and cultural competence to build a better world. Community: The school is intentionally inclusive: we put relationships first and develop social-emotional competencies while engaging all stakeholders in creating a unified, safe, and supportive community within and beyond the school.
