Be part of the start up of a new Charter School in Los Angeles

Developer committee is looking for volunteer members to help research the feasibility of starting a new charter school in south central Los Angeles, Torrance or Gardena. Become part of a founding community. Your kids get first choice to enroll in new school or you may become a full time employee once charter is granted.Charter schools are publicly funded, but community and privately managed public school. Our Mission is to create a 6-12th grade school dedicated to instructivist teaching methods and a college-prep curriculum.Instructional Methods - Direct Instruction and Mastery Learning (used now by catholic, private college prep., and Asian schools)Academic Curriculum - phonics, literacy, mathematics, science and empiricism, Core Knowledge (E.D. Hirsch), and character values.Our founding team has a total of over 30 years teaching experience, plus 18 years experience in private business and management. All are experienced in the Sylvan Learning methods in which a student is not promoted until he masters the previous skill level.

Kids enjoy learning, but enjoyment is a consequence of achievement not a prerequisite. If interested in making this charter happen, contact CharterStartUp@yahoo.com and let us know if you are a: 1)Parent 2)teacher 3)Administrator 4)Business leader 5)Education Reform supporter 6)other (specify).Thank you,
