Our Mission
The mission of Agape Achievement Academy is to empower students to achieve academic excellence, character building, and a love of learning necessary to become life-long learners through a rigorous and content-rich curriculum.
Our Vision
Agape Achievement Academy believes that all children can achieve and perform at high levels, no matter their race, gender, or socioeconomic status, when they are provided with a rigorous, culturally relevant curriculum and they are held to high academic and behavioral standards. To achieve this, Agape Achievement Academy will personalize learning based on student's needs, skills, and interests. Our goal is to prepare students to become confident leaders, avid readers, and lifelong learners.
Safety Focus
Students are provided with a positive and safe learning environment. In addition, Agape Achievement Academy will implement safety practices and policies at all times. These include the following:
-
Keeping all doors locked
-
All visitors are required to check in at the office
-
We provide school-wide safety training to all staff and students.
-
Bullying is not tolerated and students are expected to be kind, responsible, and respectful to others and demonstrate courtesy at all times.
Building Character
Agape Achievement Academy will promote excellence in living as well as learning. The goal at Agape Achievement Academy will not be for students to just exemplify good behavior, but to also develop excellent character and a desire to make the world a better place. Teachers will model strong character, use persons of character as models, and praise and reward students for exemplifying the school-wide Core Values. In addition, as a public charter school, we will have the flexibility to create schedules, hiring practices, systems, and policies that reflect the needs, realities, and challenges of our targeted population.
Why Agape Achievement Academy?
Agape Achievement Academy recognizes that a foundation in literacy is crucial to academic achievement in the upper grades and life-long scholarship. We also recognize a foundation in literacy provides students with the strongest likelihood to meet their full potential as students. Our board also believes that the most successful organizations start small and grow incrementally to control the quality of outcomes.
Culturally Relevant Instruction: The Agape Achievement Academy staff will all have a viable understanding and respect for students’ backgrounds which will be reflected in the ways they interact with their students, the resources they use, and the emphasis on student's own culture and community, allowing students to master content in a more personal way. What a teacher learns about his or her students will be woven into the classroom, emphasizing their interests, passions, and talents to drive out any fears or insecurities that can hinder learning. Agape Achievement Academy will have smaller class sizes, allowing our teachers to spend more intense instruction time with students who may struggle and need additional assistance to understand the lesson and build their skill base. Students at Agape Achievement Academy will feel safe being who they are, belong to a positive school culture where they know they are valued and feel secure taking risks.
