Welcome to the Center for Knowledge!
Since 1997, we have provided a small
community setting that enables students to develop close bonds with
fellow students, teachers and parents. Character building is
stressed in and out of the classroom, and by partnerships with other grade
levels and weekly meetings of the student body.
Cultural literacy is taught with E. D.
Hirsch's Core Knowledge sequence. Five areas are stressed within
this curriculum: language arts, geography coupled with world
civilization and American civilization, math, fine arts and natural
sciences. This core knowledge sequence is in addition to the
district curriculum. A special emphasis is placed on the history of
the subjects.
We believe that it is vital to work with
families to strengthen the character development in students.
Each month our school focuses on a different character trait. This
is done through school meetings where guest speakers speak on the traits
of focus and students participate in skits, songs, poetry and other
dramatizations that depict the character trait being taught.
We have a full year planned; we look
forward to providing students many opportunities and challenges.
If you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me by phone at 699-2966 or by e-mail at
jhall@richland2.org.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jo Lane P. Hall, Lead Teacher
