What is a charter school? A Charter school is a public school of choice which operates
independently of local school districts. Charter schools are non-sectarian
and must follow rules and regulations governing civil rights, health and
safety issues. Charter schools are allotted per-student tax dollars for
operating revenue and generate additional funding through private and
corporate donations as well as state and federal
grants.
Who
can attend this school? Applications are available and
are accepted on first-come-first-serve basis; however enrollment is
limited in all grade levels. Burnham Wood Charter School will not
discriminate on its admission policy on the basis of sex, national origin,
ethnicity, religion, disability, academic or athletic ability, or the
district the child would otherwise attend in accordance with the Texas
Education Code.
Our Mission
Statement The
mission of the Burnham Wood Charter School, working in solid partnership
with the family and community, is to prepare children to accept
responsibility for their own learning. This school offers students a
framework that will encourage life-long learning with skills, knowledge,
creativity, a sense of self-worth and the ethical values necessary to
survive and grow in an ever-changing, diverse, global society. Within this
statement are beliefs that will help manifest the "thinking citizen of the
future." We believe that (given the opportunity):
| Each
student has inherent worth. |
Working cooperatively is essential in our competitive world.
|
| Each
child CAN learn. |
Family involvement is an essential component in the
educational process.
|
| Learning is a life-long process. |
The
educational process requires risk-taking.
|
| Children are basically "self-starters" |
Cultural diversity enhances education.
|
| Success promotes more success. |
Continuous improvement is possible.
|
| Education is a shared responsibility. |
A
positive, supportive environment is essential to successful
learning.
