21CC Vision and Mission Statement

Vision Statement

The 21^st Century Charter School believes that all children should have access to a quality education, in a nurturing environment that includes college.

Mission Statement

The 21st Century Charter School will make “no excuses” for its student population and will dedicate itself to ensure that all students show growth in character, academics, life skills, the arts, and wellness using teaching skills tailored to meet the needs of each student.

Goals

ü  Expose all students to college level courses and curriculum.

ü  Teach all students a rigorous, differentiated curriculum, which allows mastery of the IN Common Core Standards.

ü  Analyze and share data with stakeholders to ensure students reach their fullest potential.

ü  Maintain high academic and behavioral expectations school wide.

ü  Work with the community to provide activities and experiences that reflect a positive family environment.

Belief Statements

Ø  We believe students excel in an environment in which they are valued and challenged.

Ø  We believe student learning is the chief priority for the school and should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school.

Ø  We believe students learn best when they are actively engaged, involved, and vested in their learning process.

Ø  We believe an individual’s worth is separate from his/her academic performance.

Ø  We believe parents are the primary educators of our children. Their involvement is essential to effective education.

Ø  We believe our teachers are committed to our students.

Ø  We believe learning should take place in an environment of mutual respect, with trust, caring, and nurturing pervasive throughout the educational system.

Ø  We believe in a safe and orderly environment that ensures an atmosphere that promotes teaching and learning.

Ø  We believe that modeling and reinforcing basic values such as honesty, integrity, courage, respect, responsibility and empathy are an integral part of education.

Ø  We believe students, teachers, administrators, the Board, parents, and community members working together as a team to build a strong foundation for learning share the responsibility for a successful education.

Ø  We believe all students have the right to an education, but not the right to interfere with the education of others.

A Letter From Principal West

Meet our Principal:
Mrs. Angela West, Secondary Principal (6th-12th), 21st Century Charter School @ Gary

21st Century Charter School @ Gary is a fantastic place for students in grades kindergarten to senior year of high school!

For the past five years it has been an honor and a privilege to be the principal of grades k-12 at 21^st Century Charter School @ Gary and now it is my privilege to work with secondary, 6-12^th grade, students beginning August 2012. 

Our outstanding and dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing an outstanding education for the students each day as they transition from elementary to middle school to high school and COLLEGE. We are committed to providing our students with instruction that is standards-based and challenging, that meets the needs of each individual student enrolled. By meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students, we help to prepare them for a bright future as we firmly believe that “through our doors walk college graduates”.

Outside of the classroom, there is an extracurricular, co-curricular, or athletic activity for many of our students to become involved. Our school-based organizations include National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, Leadership Council, Science Olympiad, Spell Bowl, and Artistically Talented Club, to name a few. We also offer Mandarin and French as foreign languages options to all students in grades k-12.

Our Cougar athletic programs are bound for IHSAA tournament victory! Our programs include: JV/Varsity basketball (girls and boys), track and field, JV/Varsity volleyball, cheerleading, and cross country.

We invite you to learn more about our Cougar family by exploring our website.  If you have any questions about our academic offerings and/or other activities we provide, please do not hesitate to call our school.

Working on behalf of students,

Mrs. Angela D. West

Secondary Principal
