About
EXPENSES DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATIONS OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL AND THE RELATED CURRICULUM.Our school opened in the South Bronx in September of 2009 with 150 Kindergarten and First Grade students. In the 2015-2016 school year we serveD students in grades K-7. Through a commitment to broad-based education for all students ranging from the basics of reading and mathematics to fine arts and technology we teach the next generation of community leaders. We depend on the full commitment of our students, their parents, our teachers, and the administration. Through the partnership of these groups, our school provides a better future for our students, shaping them into individuals and leaders in our community. Academic Leadership Charter School offers a rigorous curriculum that satisfies all New York State Standards, including an extended day which provides our students with four periods of literacy daily. We believe that having a strong foundation in reading and writing, as well as a well-rounded vocabulary, is the key to academic success. We aim for 80% of our students to perform at Levels 3 and 4 on their New York State assessments. There are two teachers in every classroom, a Lead Teacher and a Teacher Associate. The presence of two certified teachers gives each student a more individualized education. One teacher may work with a small group of students on a certain skill, while the lead teacher focuses on a different topic with the rest of the class. In addition, other teachers "push in" to the classroom to provide further support. We have high expectations for everyone in the ALCS community. We expect our students and teachers to work hard in the classroom and we expect our families to work with their children on a daily basis, reading with them at home and helping them study for their assessments. Together, we strive to help our students become tomorrow's leaders.
