Curriculum
Bonita Springs Charter School promotes a technique that will yield improved academic results, self -development and character education. Teaching techniques go well beyond Florida Sunshine State Standards' focus into broad levels of skill building. These methods, when combined with traditional instructional strategies, will give our students a strong information foundation and skills repertoire upon which to build their future.
An Enriched Curriculum
- CSUSA Core Curriculum - A framework that incorporates the formal performance based Florida Sunshine State Standards.
- Emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics as well as foreign language, physical education, the arts, and technology.
- Our overall goal is to establish a flexible "open framework" that supports creativity, high standards and a solid academic foundation.
- The Curriculum encourages steady academic progress as students build their knowledge and skills from one year to the next.
Individualized Approach To Learning
- Personal Learning Plan (P.L.P.) for each student that will assess his/her skill level when he/ she enrolls in the school.
- A path for growth is designed for each student that is periodically reassessed to determine skill development
- The P.L.P. will ensure that the individual needs of each student are met and provide parents the opportunity to participate in educational goal setting and monitoring of their child's academic progress.
