Our Mission
The mission of Achievers Early College Prep Charter School is to provide students with opportunities to develop their intellectual, emotional and social potential through the equitable implementation of a rigorous, culturally responsive, STEAM focused curriculum that fosters their transition to college and industry.
Our Vision
To bridge the economic gap by developing well-rounded, confident and responsible STEAM leaders, who understand their immense value.
Our Core Values
We don’t believe in focusing on more than a just a few goals at a time. We believe in moving away from becoming “jack of all” and perfecting concrete skills, specific bodies of content, and teaching strategies. This will drive how we develop our team, curricular choices we make, and programmatic ones as well. We will do this with our following core values: Ability, Allegiance, Tenacity, Empathy and Excellence!
Ability
We are firm believers in growth and the growth mindset. We don’t accept not trying hard and multiple times, vis-a-vis multiple formats, and practicing deliberately.
Allegiance
We are a team and family! We believe in tapping into each other's strengths and traits in our team and students, growing them, and holding each other accountable. Just like a family, we are loyal to each other, holding each other to a high bar of excellence!
Tenacity
We are all about staying focused and understanding that things take time. It is about persevering and believing we can do it, achieve it and make it happen, despite the “nay-sayers”. We never stop, we never quit, and we never settle. We keep moving forward despite the challenges!
Empathy
We are intentional about listening to what others have to say, while feeling how others feel. We also strive to understand each other’s perspective and circumstances, even though we may not always agree with each other.
Excellence
We believe in setting high expectations for conduct and work quality. Our work is meaningful, significant, and purpose based. We try until we get it right.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing an educational experience that is academically rigorous, culturally responsive, and connected to students’ goals. Through strong partnerships among students, families, educators, and the community, Achievers empowers students to become confident learners, responsible leaders, and prepared graduates.
