Two Rivers Has Space Left

Two Rivers Public Charter School (http://www.tworiverspcs.org) is still accepting applications for the 2007/2008 school year for 3rd and 5th graders.

Two Rivers uses Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound, an educational model that emphasizes interactive, hands-on, project-based learning. The school focuses on the whole child, recognizing the importance of character education and the social-emotional needs of children while helping them achieve academic excellence. The Two Rivers staff share a strong belief that all children can learn and be high achievers. The curriculum at Two Rivers is rigorous, standards-based, and provides opportunities for students to excel in all areas. An integrated arts program and a content-based Spanish program augment the school’s demanding academic program. These elements come together through learning expeditions that allow students to incorporate and apply their classroom learning through real-world experiences.

Students receive instruction in language arts, math, science, social studies, music, performing and visual arts, Spanish, and physical education. Special emphasis is placed on literacy, the arts, and Spanish language instruction. Two Rivers also has a strong commitment to special education and English as a second language (ESL) instruction.
