Our Philosophy

Our goal is to create a safe, loving environment where children can come together, creating discovering,
laughing and developing their talents and their sense of community. Only through educational mastery,
well-developed communication and problem solving skills, and an awareness of responsibility to and for
their group, can students achieve the competence and personal security necessary to the foundation of
their happiness.

Our teachers come from varied backgrounds including Montessori ( hands-on, independent learning ), as
well as more traditionally trained teachers with many years of experience teaching young students. Our
teachers are available to our families. Teachers greet students and parents daily as they arrive for school.
Because we are a very small school, you will be able to develop a bond with all of your child's teachers.

We are ungraded, which means that there are no
report cards. Students bring home weekly lesson
plans detailing their week's work, current themes
and homework assignments. Three conferences per
year and four Progress Reports also keep parents
informed of their students' educational
development. By removing the pressure of grades,
our children experience the joy of learning for the
sake of knowledge.

e encourage and welcome all families to
participate in these activities.

Our goal is to create competence and self assurance within our students. Children who know that they can
apply what they have learned, are confident and secure. A small campus, low ratios and loving staff ensure
that this goal becomes a reality every day.

We make education fun and strive to create a warm family-oriented campus. The creative activities
provided throughout the year include field trips, holiday activities, Freaky Fridays, family evenings, award
ceremonies, and theme days. Monthly calendars will keep you informed. We encourage and welcome all
families to participate in these activities.

All of the teachers know your child. Multi-aged groupings and weekly team meetings to coordinate
teaching efforts are our guarantees that each child's needs are being met.

Our goal is to ensure your child masters the basics ( the 3 r's: "reading, 'riting & 'rithmatic"), giving them the
self-confidence they will need to be competent and able students. We are a Charter School offering
Kindergarten through 4th Grades. When your child graduates into 5th grade, you can be secure in the
knowledge that Midtown Primary has given them a solid foundation and set them on the path to success.

Our curriculum is geared toward skill mastery for our
students. The reading program is phonics-based. By using
a tiny stair-step approach, we can ensure that your child
fully understands the material being learned before moving
onto the next lesson. Our daily activities are rich in
hands-on activities to enhance their learning experience.
Integrated monthly themes encompassing math, science,
literature and social studies reinforce their learning with
plenty of practice and practical applications. For example,
the Endangered Species of the World unit includes
science, geography, literature, hands-on centers, and a trip
to the Zoo.
