Our Chartter School Mission
|
| The educational approach of Twindly Bridge Charter School (TBCS) is to focus on
the individual student and his/her own interests, weaknesses and
strengths, completing independent study at home and in supplementary
classes held in the school’s classrooms and labs. Students may choose
to work entirely at home. Research shows that children learn in
different ways and at different rates, and once they become motivated
they learn whatever is required to accomplish their goals. Our mission
is to provide an instructional program that builds on students’
strengths and interests. We believe that this approach promotes
creativity and critical thinking. In this process the `basics’ (RRR)
are utilized in a non-contrived manner and the tools for rigorous study
in any subject area are developed. |
