Our Mission

 

The mission of the Antioch Charter Academies is to facilitate academic and personal growth of TK‐8th grade students of all socio‐economic levels and ethnic backgrounds. ACA enables 21st century students to become literate, self‐motivated, innovative, lifelong learners, and compassionate, collaborative active citizens. We nurture and support a partnership of students, teachers, families and the community; embrace individual strengths; and build upon research informed educational best practices including Montessori, multiple intelligences, brain‐compatible teaching, and multi‐age groupings with small class sizes

 

Our Vision

 

To provide a learning environment where students of all socio‐economic levels and ethnic backgrounds embrace education, exhibit compassion, and accept personal responsibility

Elective Teachers/Volunteers Needed

 

We need volunteers to supervise/teach electives for our 4th-8th grade students. This is a vital part of our program allowing students to enjoy and be introduced to varied experiences. Some past popular electives and new ideas include: outdoor sports, board games, photography, recycle art, drama, woodworking, gardening, ultimate Frisbee, cooking, special effects makeup, film making/editing, costume design, choir, zumba, foreign language, fun with science, fundraising, and video game design. We encourage new ideas too!

 

If you have a special talent you are willing to share or can supervise an activity on one of our elective days, please let us know ASAP.   You can email acaiimiddle@gmail.com to let us know which day and type of activity interests you.

 

Electives are offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:00-3:00. 1sttrimester electives will begin August 26th! You can volunteer for one or multiple trimesters. It’s a great way to support our students and meet your volunteer hours!
