Ensuring Success and Graduation
The educational components of I CAN SCHOOLS represent a commitment to providing new and innovative educational opportunities to the children who attend our schools. The mission of I CAN SCHOOLS is to prepare students for a college preparatory high school that will ensure success and graduation from a four year college. In preparing all of our students to fulfill the mission, our portfolio of schools have outlined the following big goals.
Goals
- To create a culture of high expectations for behavior and academics through rigorous, research-based curricula and a focus on achievement
- Attend a college preparatory high school
- Gain acceptance to and graduate from a four year college
- 100% of our graduates will positively affect change in their local communities while making a contribution to our global society
Respect, Responsibility and Relentlessness
will be the heartbeat of the school
At the core of these big goals will be the character pillars of I CAN SCHOOLS: Respect, Responsibility and Relentlessness. We expect our students to respect one another, the adults in the building, take responsibility for their shortcomings and successes and to be relentless in all of their pursuits, no matter how small. The staff and administration of I CAN SCHOOLS will work with students and the broader community to construct engaging, authentic, and relevant learning experiences that are accessible to students with varied learning styles. I CAN SCHOOLS will also help students forge adult and community connections, both to bring the world into the school and to get students out of the school and into the “real world.”
