Advance High School of Business and Leadership believes that learning best occurs when the following practices are employed:

  • The curriculum is focused on high expectations
    and rigorous preparation of every student for high school, college and the
    world of work
  • Students are engaged in a college prep
    curriculum that is based on culturally relevant and culturally responsive
    strategies that incorporate the real life experiences of the students
  • Individual Student Plans (“ISP”) are created
    for each student with the student’s input
  • Acknowledgment and incorporation of the
    different learning modalities of each student and allow them to learn in their
    preferred style
  • Students are encouraged to respect and be
    sensitive to the diversity, talents, and points of view of other members of
    their classroom community
  • Students have a voice and are a part of the
    learning community rather than passive learners in an isolated situation
  • Students receive intense personal attention so
    that each student feels valued and has access to staff and resources
  • All students and parents/guardians have
    absolute access to information, and the Charter School works diligently to help
    parents understand their options
  • Invite collaboration from all stakeholders
  • Provide opportunities for and encourage
    parent/guardian involvement in their students’ educational experiences
  • Students are in small-sized classes where the
    educational curriculum and instruction are stimulating, and where motivating methodologies
    are used
  • Grades and various other assessments are used
    for students to self-evaluate as well as for teachers’ use as a tool of
    measurement
