At East Arbor Charter Academy our credo will be simple: Set high-standards, make expectations clear, provide meaningful instruction, and watch children excel academically. At East Arbor every student will be given the tools for success, in and out of the classroom. With a commitment to work, good citizenship, and personal responsibility students experience a safe, secure environment where learning and achievement will thrive.
A quality K-8 education sets the critical foundation for a student’s success in high school, college, and beyond. Achievement may look different for each individual, but our goal will be to prepare every student to pursue a college opportunity. It is with this goal in mind that East Arbor’s curriculum will be designed to meet state standards and equip students with the specific skills and knowledge they need to master in each content area at each grade level.
East Arbor Charter Academy believes that great schools should aim to develop both a student’s heart and mind. To that end, we will implement a moral focus curriculum that will build on the virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, while incorporating these virtues into moral, performance, and social character lessons. Through these lessons, students will learn to build and maintain strong personal character while developing the qualities necessary to help them to achieve academic success and become good citizens.
