Our Approach Achievement Gap & Mission Core Values Curriculum & Instruction FAQ About Charter Schools Propel Programs Promising Principles |

Core Values Propel develops academically accomplished young men and women who are poised, curious, and disciplined - upstanding individuals who will be effective members of a community. Propel graduates will be great readers, writers and problem solvers, knowledgeable, confident in themselves, and ready and eager to impact their communities; benefiting themselves, their neighborhoods and our region. We have core beliefs about Academics, Community and Personal Power that anchor our work and serve as touchstones shaping key decisions in the life of our schools. On Academics Leading children and teens to academic accomplishment is a central purpose of school. We place supreme importance on the development of literacy because reading well is the foundation for further learning. We believe children and teens are able to think deeply and that this intellectual engagement is central to academic accomplishment. On Community  We believe in the power of a community to lift individuals and that it is our job to prepare children and teens to build and be part of such communities. We also believe it is our job to lead teachers, parents and community partners, through an open exchange of ideas, to share a sense of responsibility for the success of each child. On Personal Power We believe that every child is unique and personally powerful. Pursuing personal passions and participating in the arts, physical activities and community service promote both understanding of the world and appreciation for individual differences. We see children and teens as active participants in creating their futures and feel it is our job to constantly encourage children and teens to explore and reflect, cultivating a knowledge of self and a sense of personal efficacy and power. |
