Partner School Creation

Our in class assignment was unique creating our own school. My partner and I chose to create a high school. We wanted to really focus on three parts Academics, Arts, and Athletics. We wanted to give our kids the type of exposure they would need to be successful further than just in high school but actually in their field of choice and desire. To do that we have advanced programs, professionals, and the available resources that would put our kids in the best position possible. We didn’t want to just bring in kids who were talented, athletic, and extremely smart. We felt that would have limited our diversity levels. Not only would it have limited our diversity levels but our room to grow as well. We stress growth and development so our kids can show progress throughout our school. By our school being a charter school we are publicly funded and individuals can still donate. There are multiple ways to get accepted. We take three placement exams, need recommendations, hold competitions for sporting programs and arts events but we also take heed to your natural life understanding. We didn’t want for only the smart, fortunate, and athletic kids to get accepted. We wanted kids with backgrounds from all over. In our Arts programs we actually have professionals who are still professionally doing arts or even mentoring professional events. That is extremely important because you are learning from the best. You don’t have to pay extra money to get that type of recognition it is brought there to you. By our professionals holding such high positions you have a chance to get the upper hand on kids who don’t have the privileges that you have. In our Academics program we give our kids hands on programs. Where they teach, go out and career shadow professionals other than ours just in case there are other programs they are interested in. Most importantly we offer the cream of the crop advanced programs so that they area ahead of any competition. When it comes to Athletics we provide the best staffing, facilities, and resources you could ask for. We have former professional athletes that are there daily with the kids. That helps our kids get an advantage over kids who have mediocre coaches. We have the best equipment so our kids can have access to equipment other kids don’t. That’ll help our kids recover faster and be back into their sport if they have an injury or issue that comes up. Our facilities are top notch so when our kids are playing on a big stage they aren’t nervous because they see it all the time. We try to put our kids in the best position to succeed. There are obviously kids who are just smart but there are also kids who need special attention. There are kids who are just gifted but there are also kids who hold a lot of potential. With that being said we don’t have the best kids in everything but we give our kids a chance to compete. By them seeing professionals on a day to day basis it gives them dreams and aspirations that they can do it. They actually have someone who is hands on living it with them.
