CITY NEIGHBORS CHARTER SCHOOL MISSION
The mission of City Neighbors Charter School is to provide an extraordinary public school education with high academic achievement for all students. Our ultimate goal for our school is that through Project Based Learning, arts integration, parental involvement and community outreach, the students leave enlivened, with deep awareness of themselves, their families and the outside community, and with the capacity to be good citizens.
CITY NEIGHBORS CHARTER SCHOOL VISION
At CNCS our classrooms serve as individual model communities where issues are discussed, differences in perspectives are welcomed and children work cooperatively, rather than competitively. The CNCS governance model - including parents, business and community leaders, teachers, students and the principal - reflect our commitment to cooperative governance, based on the principles of human dignity, consensus, and freedom. Our belief and experience is that when given a strong structure to support generative thinking as well as meaningful activities to perform, all children and adults strive for excellence. Because of this focus, CNCS' impact on the lives of students and families and the community will be powerful, positive and long lasting.
Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do,
and then, if you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different than before.
~Loris Malaguzzi
Reggio Founder
Cherish your
visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs your
heart, the beauty that forms your mind, the loveliness that drapes your
purest thoughts, for out of
them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of
these, if you but remain true
to them, your world will at last be built. --James Allen, As a Man
Thinketh, p. 43
